This week, Lukas spends time with the Living Ports consortium in the port of Vigo. Divers extract #concrete tiles that PhD student Siff Nejst Lørup from DTU will analyze to determine the level of chloride penetration. Living Ports uses the special concrete designed by ECOncrete which is more hospitable to marine life than conventional products.
Tired of theory and abstract matter? Our website is the place to learn about coastal sand.
The S.AND website is collecting 'tangible' accounts of ongoing ethnographic research in the Afrasian Sea and other oceans. For instance, check out Lukas Ley's fieldnote on diving in the harbour of Marseilles and the formation of "natural concrete": https://s-and.org/blog/touching-calcification. Over the year, there will also be articles, pictures, and other insights from our fieldwork and even the occasional joke. #sand#anthropology#concrete#fieldwork @academicchatter
