Day 15

Data day today.

Of the three teams two where at NTBG working on data analysis. The pre-contact fields (archeology) group went out into the field and likely had a more interesting day. My team however was in the lab.

After a full two hours of searching, I found an up to date set of Hydro tools that I will need to do my groundwater project, along with a tutorial and sample data set. This is exciting, I was getting a little concerned that I was going to have to learn a new tool (to me anyway) in less than two weeks blind, and now I wont have to! I still need to get a complicated process down, but with the tutorial to guide me I am confident I can do it.

After a few hours of data I broke off to take a second tour of the Allerton Garden, then went out to get a small gift of appreciation for Dr. Becker for the help he has been to the hydro group so far (today was our last day working with him until we get back to CSULB) and get some diner while I was out.

Tomorrow is some more data gathering since we have some data that may highlight places of SGD, we will be sampling some areas in greater detail. If we can get it all done then it may be our last data gathering day.
