Luckily, I have performed much of the field work that is necessary for my research before in Field Ecology. As I have performed field work for this class, it was stressed to us that it is important to work quickly and efficiently, but to always be aware of the details. Sloan, Josh and I will begin our field work on Friday (23rd) on the downstream impacted sites in Slaughter Creek that do not require a permit, or permission to enter the site. We have decided to conduct our work together for safety, but also because we are generally interested in each others field methods and what each of us will find. I expect that our first day of field work will be slow as we establish a rhythm. Hopefully, after our first day, we will learn to work quickly. Our goal is to conduct a couple of field work days before we begin work on the WQPLs. We would like to become familiar with our field methods and our efficiency before we work of these highly regulated lands.
Permit Update:
I have submitted (Monday March 19) my research proposal to Kevin at the city for review and he has informed me that the review process will begin this week.
