He is also interested in mentoring young scientists and promoting the next genration of marine geo-scientists

Dr. ten Brink graduated with a B.Sc. in geology and physics form the Hebrew University in 1980, and a Ph.D.  in marine geophysics from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in 1986. He did post-doctoral research at Tel Aviv University (1987) and at Stanford University (1988-1990).
