Early season field work - June and July 2016

 The avalanche danger and treacherous roads keep me away from my field site all winter, but now that the snow is finally done and there are no more looming cornices way up high on those cliffs, it's time for a second field season.

I am planning 5 additional days of geophysical data collection later this July, but I've been busy in the meantime collecting temperature and electrical conductivity measurements of water, setting up time-lapse cameras, installing piezometers and stilling wells, and taking samples. Here's a selection of nice photos showing what I've done so far.
