Digital Elevation Model on the fly



Hi, the field work is going on with the help of cutting edge technologies!!

the rest of the group is in the river for a 4 days trip to the mouth of Rio Grande, and I am having some free time to update the blog.

Everything is OK, we are getting a lot of good data and maybe, for the first time since 2001, I am starting to understand something!!!

Here me and Heinz looking at the samples. We can do that thanks to our Bernhardo san, who took out all the coring tubes alone. He does not even need any leverage device, he just extract them with nude hands.

The group is growing


Hi, the master students are here, and as you see, they are already working hard:-))
the waker (our german device for coring) works 99%, the weather is ok and yesterday also Heinz and Bettina arrived. We are now a cool group of 8 "greengos" going up and down in Moxos.
