Ecology of the past

A fairly quiet day today back at base in FORIG. Collating field data collected during yesterdays trip to Bobiri, tidying up the collected pollen traps, and preparing kit and equipment for tomorrows trip to Kogyae. We also need to pack some supplies and clothing etc because we may need to stay overnight somewhere nearby to the field site – it is an 3 hour drive from FORIG in Fumesua, so may not be able to travel there and back in a single day. The option of staying at the field station at Kogyae is not available because a group from Oxford University who are also out here are running a 10 day campaign at Kogyae this week, so the camp is full to the brim.
