Soil and Subterranean
From the surface skin to the deep dark.
Two ends of the same vertical gradient — the living skin of soil at the surface and the deep caves beneath it. Above, building open soil-data infrastructure for Crete and reading the island’s biodiversity through its soil microbial interactome. Below, exploring and sampling deep caves, from Gourgouthakas (−1,100 m) to Akoli Psaris, where geology, darkness, and microbial life meet. Together they trace how life and matter move from sunlight down into rock.
