From Noah,
Day 1 of our field work was fun-filled and very productive. We arrived at L&L at about 4PM on Sunday, jotted down some quick data, and rested for today's work.We got up at 5:30AM to get acquainted the property and plot our base point. Furthermore, we planted our first temperature sensors to acquire readings from our first spring. Also, there apparently lies a supposed hot spring which we will investigate later.
From Sam:
I'd like to add to Noah's description that a few of the water sites are somewhat difficult to get to. In particular, one most likely will require a rope, and it should be interesting to see if we manage to get data from this site. Tomorrow, we will pick up our HOBO temperature monitors from the spring early in the morning, and possibly map some of the roads and trails on the property. Tonight, we are going to hike to the base of Arenal.
From Adaire:
It's a jungle out there, but our new friend Louis and his electric machete helped us to forge a path to two of the four springs we were introduced to today. We are excited to determine whether or not one of the springs is a hot spring by comparing it with a control nearby. Hopefully, this data will help our hosts to decide if the spring is an investment worth pursuing. Today we got acquainted with our equipment and established a few base points with the Trimble. We are now waiting for the correction data, which will correct our points and polygons within 1 meter.
