Washington and Montana field work

We snuck in a few days of field work before the start of the semester. First off was Peyton’s work in the Teanaway River basin, where we visited landslide sites by car and bike, and dug into streambanks for datable material. We came out of it with 7 samples – a success!

After a couple days recuperation, Sarah continued the field work journey to Montana to get grain size counts. After being thwarted by wildfire clean-up, she eventually made it to most sites, and invented some new outerwear for pebble-counting geomorphologists.

Through it all, Oliver the field dog was a trooper, guarding our pebble counts doggedly.
