The Into the Core team continues recording in Aix-les-Bains, interviewing scientists involved in ICDP projects.

In this fifth episode, Daniel Ariztegui shares stories and lessons from his years of experience in scientific drilling — including the time he had to meet with royalty to request permission to drill, only to be told: “Do not touch the lake water.”

Curious how they managed to solve it? Join us to find out.

Daniel is an Argentine researcher currently based in Switzerland. His work focuses on sedimentology of drill cores and includes experience in seismic analysis and geochemical proxies, such as organic matter isotopes, to reconstruct past environmental and climate changes.
