Thank you again!

It's mid-semester madness around here - classes, exams, meetings, workshops, reference letters... and for the project I'm writing up our permit renewals and working on a new data management system. When you're dealing with what will be hundreds of thousands of data points, you better have a plan - and we realized last fall that we were going to need to improve the way we handled the preliminary data crunching as information from each data logger was uploaded. I'm meeting with a computer programmer next week to refine our system - with the new data loggers being added to the mix, this will be essential.

But amongst all this craziness - I am so incredibly grateful for all the support that we have received from so many wonderful people. This coming week, I will be posting some lab notes (three drafted so far) discussing the overall project and the methods we're using, as well as some information about our field sites. The week after that, as equipment begins to arrive, we'll be posting updates on that process, and in late March I'll be posting updates and photos on our prelim surveys and data logger deployments!

Keep on keeping on!
