Time for a #FridayFieldPhoto because it's #FieldWorkFriday

(Or perhaps a #FieldPhotoFriday entry)

More #DogSled on #SeaIce in Northern #Greenland from the spring this year..

Today I'm posting a tiny video as I've been working with some students on the data we collected this year.

@Ruth_Mottram

How about a smashed pot found documented in situ in a Middle Bronze Age deposit?

Can we get #FieldPhotoFriday going over here? (Or #FridayFieldPhoto if you must).

A test to see if media has better resolution posting from different apps.

Dog sled on sea ice below towering cliffs and a blue sky

It's #FieldPhotoFriday time, throwback to this spring when we were going out to deploy instruments in the #SeaIce near #TracyGlacier

#Qaanaaq #Greenland

Blue skies over towering sand stone cliffs, a team of cream coloured Greenland sled dogs race over the ice catching up with a sled in front that has a person all in black and a person in a red jacket sitting on it, also pulled by a team of dogs. A bright orange buoy is hanging on the back and stands out

Surveying stream beds (and trash) earlier this week. I can’t wait to see how the surveys compare to the ones we did last summer, because my eyes tell me there were some changes at most of our sites. #FieldWorkFriday #FieldPhotoFriday #urbanStream #TrashyStreams

View of a total station, gravel bar, and brown man holding a reflector on a pile. Forest in background.

Very very happy to see this shopping cart and gravel bar in the stream today. Last summer the cart was there, but the gravel bar was not. Did our trail camera capture the bar being built? We’ll find out when we analyze the photos we downloaded today! #FieldPhotoFriday #FieldWorkFriday #FieldWork #Geomorphology #GravelBar #trashyStreams #ChannelChange #UrbanStreams #Cleveland

I'm in the office today, but yesterday marked my first exploration of #BurlingtonVT's #urban #streams. I got to explore two very different small small streams, both affected by #stormwater #runoff, but only one with clear evidence of active #beavers. Looking forward to doing #research here! #FieldworkFriday #FieldPhotoFriday

Small stream surrounded by forest. Gravel and coffee channel with lots of branches and a fallen log spanning the stream. In the background, you can see the stream emerging from a culvert.

Sandy small stream with ripples on the bed. Bare mud and sand and young green vegetation on right side of photo, where things were clearly underwater recently. Powerlines and conifers and deciduous trees in background.

..and sometimes stuff stops working. This is a cloud radar, which dropped off the network. On investigation the electronics housing below the antenna was repeatedly beeping in the manner of a PC failing to boot. Turned out to be a push-fit memory board shaken loose from its slot by the vibration of ice-breaking. An easy fix, but it took hours to find the problem. #FieldPhotoFriday

The antenna of a trailor-mounted cloud radar. The covers are off, exposing the electronics. A figure sits on the roof of the trailor, working on the back of the antenna.

Sometimes the wildlife comes to check things out...

photo of a polar bear investigating the meteorological mast erected on sea ice.

...We installed a mast on the ice to measure turbulent fluxes of heat, moisture, and wind drag on the surface. Also solar and infra red radiative fluxes...keeping the radiometers free of frost is a never-ending job. #FieldPhotoFriday

Apparently it's Friday, and it's just 10 days until I head off to the Arctic for the #ArtOfMelt2023 field campaign, so here's some #FieldPhotoFriday fun from last time on the good ship Oden. 2018, close to the north pole, the Oden (home away from home) was moored to an ice floe and drifted for a month, while we made measurements of...well, everything we could.

Photo of the icebreaker Oden in sea ice. In the foreground is a melt pond.

It's Friday and time for a #FridayFieldPhoto or perhaps it's #FieldworkPhotoFriday or even #FieldPhotoFriday..
We need to sort those hashtags out...
Anyway, this is a photo of myself and a colleague measuring snow depths on sea ice in northern Greenland last month.
-28C but perfectly still and sunny.
The snow was about 10-20 cm deep so an absurdly long measurement stick but easy to deploy quickly on a coffee break.

A person dressed in thick black clothes stands on white snow holding a 2.5m long thin stick stuck in the snow. Clear blue sky overhead

One of those moments #InTheField when everyone is working at full tilt, making sure the observations are completed at a site before moving on to the next one.

Ad here is a new quick post: he countdown has begun and I'm in a #Fieldwork frame of mind.

(HT @tutam for the #FieldPhotoFriday reminder!)

4 scientists at work on sea ice clustered around a winch going through a hole in the sea ice, with various boxes and other equipment around. Two tents are set up on top of wooden sledges and in the background are some dogs lying on the snow.

A typical North Mengen "cooking house" (vail ta) in Pomio, #PapuaNewGuinea. Each household has one and it is where the married couple and uninitiated children live. The women in the photo are heating stones of an earth oven (svoin) and preparing taro to be roasted in it.

Food cooked in the earth oven is presented especially during ceremonial gift exchanges.

A black and white photo of thatched roof house from the inside. The door and window of the house are open. A woman stands inside in front of the door, another kneels peeling taro tubers. There is smoke inside the house. A pile of stones is in the middle of the house and flames come from between the stones. The house has an earth floor.

The walls are lined with benches and shelves holding cooking ware.

#FridayFieldworkPhoto part 6: A woman preparing her yam garden for planting.

The Mengen in Pomio plant two kinds of yam, the greater yam (Dioscorea alata, Mengen: klaip, Tok Pisin: yam) and the lesser yam (Dioscorea esculenta, M: mis, TP: mami ).

After burning, women meticulously clean the plots from all debris before planting the yam in mounds.
