With his capability to look at the problems from a different perspective, he was able to develop some new, but contro- versial ideas. Since 2010 he moved his research focus from geochemistry to bathymetric map- ping and geomorphology of mid-ocean ridges. At this time he started his research in the Red Sea Rift and was part of two major research expedi- tions there. He developed a model that brings the Red Sea Rift, that was geologically thought to be special, back in line with the known mid-ocean ridges worldwide. Even if his main research interest still lies in the Red Sea rift and research there is ongoing, he was further involved in numerous other seagoing expeditions, often Nicholas Harmon working in internationally and interdisciplinary Olga Kokkinaki Authors’ Biography 789
