READINGS

In the left column below are links to readings having background readings about the sites we will visit, in the order that we anticipate visitng them. The righthand column has links to the site objectives. Please review these prior to departure, so that you have advance knowledge of what to expect on-site. Contrary to what the photo above might suggest, expect no WiFi access once we are on-site; attach all necessary references (checked x below) as hardcopy into your field book!
