Kristen Ghaffarian U.R. Week in Review

This past week was pretty fun, we got to get into a different kind of research.  We surveyed the sand dunes in Ponce Inlet, got to know some new instruments and methods.  It was challenging with the wind, but the weather was perfect and we had a good time.
As far as my research project is concerned, I am getting my outline for what I will need, procedures and making sure I have everything I need to secure a day with Dr. Woodall to come and help me with the expensive instruments.  I have been practicing with my mac excel and powerpoint so that I am familiar with the programs.  The graphs are easy to comprehend, you know which one you want to use and how it should look, it is the process of telling the computer how to do it.  This week was pretty quiet for me, planning for the research project and getting ready for the seining this coming Friday.
