  3. Reposting from Cambridge University Press-Archaeology:
    #Archaeological #fieldwork at #Chengcun spotlights how seasonal workers move between tea fields and excavation trenches, underlining the important role of locally recruited labor.

    🛋️ Read the blog and #openaccess article for SAA journal @saa-aap.bsky.social.

  5. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🛸🔭 Astrobiologists warn we could miss evidence of #alien life because our tools and assumptions fail to detect it.

    Researchers propose combining lab #experiments, modeling, and #fieldwork to address these gaps. #AI could help uncover patterns human observers might overlook in the #data.

  7. Our field crew last week unanimously voted for meeting a bear in the woods over a man. Confirming our choice we saw this beautiful bear this is a cell phone photo I got (no zoom, close!), just wandered out and back in. Later, a dude who showed up, yelled, reported us (not believing we had permission to be there and claimed besties with property manager - also a lie lol) confirmed we chose Bear correctly.

  8. Blue Agama (Pseudotrapelus sinaitus), Jordan 2023 Pentax k1ii, Pentax DA* 300 f4 (I think) Missing not being in Jordan right now, and found this favorite shot from a few years ago. #Jordan #Lizard #Fieldwork

  9. A rumination on a decade of ecological fieldwork. It is structured like a paper, but it is a nicely spare and clear-eyed narrative.

    In this piece, the author doesn't even identify the birds he is studying; if you're curious, they are Magellanic penguins.

  11. Thanks to the team at Wombeyan Caves for another successful groundwater research fieldtrip.

    Cave drip loggers were downloaded for the last 7 months. Drip water and groundwater samples wwre collected for tracer analysis. The drip logger sites from the 2000s and the research of Janece McDonald were inspected. A Syp water sampler was installed, maybe it will work. And impromptu sci-comm occurred with cave tours groups.

    The loggers recorded only one recharge event here since our last visit in September with @michcampbell. It was pretty dry.

  13. Been out looking and listening for the Black Grouse again. This time without success. But hey at least there was snow (still shaking).

  15. Been looking and listening for the Black Grouse again. This time with success.
    Saw and recorded both male and female.
    Due to a lack of a proper camera here is a shot taken through my bins of the female bird perched in a tree.
    Also a lovely work desk. Next home office setup 😉

  16. ⭕ COGO in : Map features you can't reach on foot.

    Define two reference points and a radius for each. QField calculates where the circles intersect — two candidates (A and B). You pick the right one.

    Ideal for field centres, restricted areas, or features in difficult terrain. 🗺️

  17. 📏 COGO in : Point by Distance & Angle

    From a reference point, enter the bearing and distance — QField draws a live visual line to the calculated position.

    Supports elevation offsets for 3D geometries too.

    Perfect for infrastructure work: boundaries, buried pipes, underground cables. 🔧

  18. Spring is here, and with that the mining bees have emerged. We are trying out our airborne eDNA sampling in an aggregation that is close to campus. Concentration of airborne eDNA is LOW, so please wish us luck!
