Daniele's arrival was delayed by the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano on April 15, two days before he was scheduled to fly over to the U.S. The eruption shut down flights from Italy for days as the ash cloud spread across Europe and might have caused jet engines to fail. Not a good time to fly!
Happily, Daniele was able to get a flight out later and arrived here Tuesday April 20th.
We are looking forward to working with him on identification of the many shells that Jackie, Troy, and Ceseley have sorted out of the samples, and then some analysis of paleoenvironments and other research while he is here. It will be great to get his input on some of our outreach plans also.
