Miss Yasmin Bokhari Friberg

I am a 2nd year PhD student with an interest in paleoceanography, paleoclimate and geochemistry. My project aims to reconstruct the Indian Summer Monsoon during the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene using a multi-proxy approach, including bulk sediment elemental ratios (XRF), benthic and planktic foram stable isotopes, and planktic foram trace elements. I'm investigating how the monsoon changed both on a longer term (~2-5 Ma) and shorter term (~2.3-3.0 Ma) in relation to orbital forcing, ice volume change and CO₂ fluctuations. My samples were retrieved during IODP expedition 353 in the Bay of Bengal, the core region of the Indian monsoon.
