Over thirty promising, young Utrecht researchers will receive a Veni grant of up to 320,000 euros from the Dutch Research Council (NWO). 1 in 7 Venis went to Utrecht researchers this year.
For this research, Utrecht master student Sophie ten Hietbrink worked for four weeks aboard the research vessel RV Pelagia. On a trip from the Azores to the continental shelf of Europe, she took water samples at 12 locations where she filtered out anything larger than one micrometer.
For the first time, scientists have been able to determine how sea level must have varied also on thousand-year timescales during the last 540 million years.
In this panel with researchers, students, and stakeholders, we discuss the phenomenon: what does it look like? What does it say about how we do research? How might we approach doing research differently?
