MARINE GEOARCHAEOLOGY AND MICROPALEONTOLOGY LABORATORY

Led by Prof. Beverly Goodman-Tchernov

Dr. Moses Strauss Department of Marine Geosciences, Leon H. Charney School of Marine Sciences, University of Haifa

The Marine Geoarchaeology and Micropaleontology (MGM) Laboratory aims to investigate and elucidate the complex interrelated dynamics along the coastline using tools within the earth sciences and archaeology, in particular sedimentology and micropaleontology. Included amongst our research goals are the reconstruction of ancient coastlines, ancient harbors, identifying sedimentological signature of rapid events (e.g. floods, storms, tsunamis, earthquakes), aquaculture impacts, and climate and sea-level change.
