Current research
Supervisors: Dr. Revital Bookman and Dr. Joel Roskin (Israel Antiquities Authority.)
The M.Sc. research is focused on describing the evolution of aeolianites at the Israeli Mediterranean coast, their rate of formation, environmental preconditions, preferred factors and to suggest possible connections to the hemispheric atmospheric circulation and climatic oscillations.
The research will be done using modern ways and high-resolution mechanical field methods. Outcrop mapping focusing on unconformities, laminations and cross-bedding relationships using Lidar technology (Laser scanning) and drone-based imaging to reconstruct the stratigraphy. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) will map the overall internal structures. The detailed, high-resolution relative chronology will be performed using portable luminescence (POSL), which will help target samples for optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating

Lucy Mokaya received her B.Sc. in Geology (2018) from the University of Nairobi in Kenya.
After graduating, she was able to get into various field of geology including hydrogeology that involved the geological survey, logging and report writing of the boreholes, gold prospecting at the south western part of Kenya and other geotechnical works.
Currently, she is a master’s student focusing on the evolution and environmental interpretation of Aeolianites using high resolution quantitative field imagery and dating techniques.
