Dr Erwan Le Ber

I have been working as part of the ECORD Science Operator (ESO) since 2015, between the University of Leicester and the University of Montpellier/CNRS. My role is to contribute to the implementation of IODP Mission-Specific Platform (MSP) expeditions, more specifically anything related to core or sample petrophysics and borehole geophysics. I have been involved in five MSP expeditions (357, 364, 381, 386, 389) and sailed with our Japanese operator counterparts on the Chikyu twice (358, 405). In 2025, with IODP Cubed, our ESO team is scheduled to implement and to sail on Expedition 501.
