Almost at the end of the season! In the ninth episode of Into the Core, we talk with Simona Pierdominici, a member of the ICDP Operational Support Group hosted at GFZ in Germany. She is an expert in borehole logging and has participated in several projects of the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP).

In this episode, our team asks Simona about her field experiences and her beginnings within ICDP projects. Can you imagine celebrating a birthday party in Antarctica or getting lost in the endless white landscape surrounded only by ice?

Turn up the volume and enjoy these stories and much more in this new episode of Into the Core.
