washed on the beach. A team of University of South Florida geoscientists has create a method that can reconstruct the drift path and origin of debris using the shells of barnacles. This new approach could also help to locate the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines MH370, a Boing 737 with 12 crew members and 227 passengers onboard that vanished under strange circumstances during a regular flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Based on radar signals and satellite pings, the plane deviated from its flight path, flying westwards for over eight hours and finally disappearing somewhere over the Indian Ocean. Debris washed ashore Reunion Island off the coast of Africa more than a year later supports this reconstruction of events.
