Oceans Research Meeting 2026

During February 2026 Ray attend the Ocean Science Meeting #OSM2026 (Ocean Sciences Meeting 2026) that was organized in Glasgow.
The meeting was held at the Glasgow Events Campus and attracted over 6000 scientists from varied disciplines from around the globe. Ongoing geochemical reconstructions of early and middle Oligocene climate as part of HighBorG were presented by Ray. Ongoing reconstructions of sea surface temperature, sea water salinity and pH from IODP expedition 378 were presented and discussed.

These reconstructions are based on selected planktonic foraminiferal species from specific target time intervals within the Oligocene. The time intervals being targeted are ones during which rapid onset and retreat of the Antarctic Ice Sheet likely occurred.
