Coring campaing in Fagaras alpine area
On October 28, 2021, UB team, with the priceless help of IGAV Bucharest and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was able to perform sediment coring in the alpine sector. Two sediment cores of 4.9 and 6 m were sampled into a debris flow cone near Buda glacial Lake (2070 m, Făgăraș) using a percussion drilling set. Data will be used to characterize the past activity of debris flow and to indirectly infer the Holocene climate variability. The cores (being processed at UB) are expected to provide relevant data on mid-late Holocene debris-flow activity in respect to paleo-climate. A new core is expected to be obtained in 2022 in the alpine area (Bâlea Lake).
