Recovered core sample

Caption

Lead author and University of Kentucky Professor Michael McGlue (right) and chief engineer M. Mupape celebrate the successful recovery of core LT17-2A, the first of its kind from southern Lake Tanganyika. Until now, sedimentary records from the lake lacked the resolution needed to accurately measure the influence of frequent climatic events, such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation.
