"But there are also a lot of cores from the deep sea, which on the first view look not too exciting maybe, because the human eye cannot tell variations in a given piece, so we call it mud. So there is grey mud and greenish mud and more mud and then kilometres of mud. And when you start then making, for example, these non-destructive measurements, then you suddenly see it's not homogeneous at all. There is an interesting pattern hidden in the cores, which we can decipher with these special analytical methods, and then figure out that some climate change has been happening like a metronome for music, it's a metronome in time."
