On site with Queens’s College Belfast in Sundarbans, India

November 25, 2010

On site with a Window Sampling System; a Professor of Physical Geography – Julian Orford, Head of School of Geography, Archaeology and Palaeoecology, Keith Bennett; Dr Satish Kumar, Senior Lecturer Human Geography and PhD student, Rory Flood; sampling from a boat in the mangrove forests of the Sundarbans National Park (one of the largest reserves for the Bengal tiger and the salt-water crocodile) is not something we do everyday at Van Walt. But do it we did!

This was no boy scout outing but serious research into the origins of the sediment and Vincent joined the team as part of our window sampling system package is onsite training!

The sampling proved very successful and more details can be found at: https://www.vanwalt.com/blog/.

Feedback from the team was fantastic: “we could not have done what was achieved without your sterling services” and “You will be at the top of the needed list next time and It was great to work with you Vincent and without a doubt the experience and expertise you brought to the coring made everything all the more possible, I can’t thank you enough for that”.
