COMP Associate Professor Brian Kraatz, PhD, published an article with a collaborative research team on paleontological and geological research conducted in Sudan over the last four years. The article, "Luminescence chronology of fossiliferous fluvial sediments along the middle Atbara River, Sudan,” is open access and published in the journal Quaternary Geology.

Recently, a multi-million euro European Research Council grant was awarded to the project PI, Dr. Faysal Bibi, to continue the work as the PALEONILE project for five additional years during which Dr. Kraatz will remain a core team member.
