Christmas Island, Kirabati

In November, 2016 (just after the very strong 2015/15 El Niño event), I participated in a field expedition led by Kim Cobb to Christmas Island in the Republic of Kiribati. We drilled living and fossil coral cores, collected seawater samples, and serviced in situ loggers to collect ocean condition data from the coral sites.
