Oceanography

• Productivity and export production in the Gulf of Aqaba: high resolution time series of particulate fluxes and biogeochemical processes
• The impact of short term perturbations (dust storms, floods) on trace elements and their isotopes in seawater
• Planktonic foraminifera seasonality and daily dynamics
• Dust sources, temporal patterns and impact on marine biogeochemistry

Paleoceanography, paleoclimate

• Late Quaternary history of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba
• The chemostratigraphy of Miocene despoits in the East Mediterranean Levant Basin
• The Late Quaternary history of the Dead Sea basin lacustrine bodies

Geochemistry

• Provenance and weathering patterns of sediments in the Dead Sea basin
• U-series disequilibrium in fine terrigenous material in the Red Sea
• Comminution dating of glacio-marine sediments in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean
• U-Th dating systematics of "dirty carbonates"
