Yoram Carboex is currently a PhD candidate at the Department of Modern History and Society at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. His research focuses on the history of deep-sea mining. Among other things, he is specifically interested in how environmental concerns first started to get articulated and how these concerns did or did not get translated into national and international regulations. Apart from deep-sea mining, he has a broader interest in international and environmental history of the ocean in the post-war period.
