In the second episode of Into the Core, we are joined by someone very special — the driving force behind this podcast and a scientist pushing the boundaries of proxy development in paleolimnology.
Dr. Marta Marchegiano, researcher at the University of Granada, shares unforgettable moments from the field, including a "malediction" on a lake which produced an unexpected explosion during a campaign. Join us for a conversation full of science, stories, and inspiration.

Hosts: Rodrigo Martinez-Abarca and Romina Achaga

Starring: Marta Marchegiano

To kick off this podcast, we have a very special guest. Professor Dr. Mark Brenner is a researcher with many years of experience in paleoclimatology and paleolimnology, and is involved in various ICDP projects. While many of us know him for his career, in this episode, we will delve into his experiences in the field, in science, and hear about his learnings in a long academic life.
