Two members of the scientific team collect modern dripwater samples, which will be analyzed for chemistry, and used to help interpret the records of the past. In April 2018, I joined a team of scientists working in Gunung Mulu National Park, on the Malaysian island of Borneo. The team, led by Dr. Nele Meckler from the University of Bergen, Norway are working to improve our understanding of tropical climate change over the last 500,000 years.
