Anne Bernhardt has participated in a research cruise on the RV Bat Galim in March 2018 with our scientific partners Uri Schattner form the University of Haifa and Mor Kanari from the Israeli National Institute of Oceanography. The cruise went very well, we acquired high quality geophysical data and sediment cores. The scientific focus is the evolution of large sediment waves in context with sea-level variations in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
