We would like to extend a very warm welcome to Thibault Romao who is visiting us for 5 months. Thibault, from the University of Bordeaux, is completing a 5 month research internship where he is working with Dr Lorna Strachan (UoA @NZseds) and Dr Helen Bostock (NIWA @HelenBostock5) on a project focussing on the depositional processes in deep-water Antarctica.
