Next trip to the field is on the horizon. There will be many of us out there this time. Four of us from Petro Matad, two consulting PhDs from the US and UK, a seasoned PhD from here in Mongolia and our support crew. This is going to be outrageous. We are headed to the Gobi-Altai from June 19-July 4th and will cover a much larger area than I did a few weeks ago. We will be conducting a series of stratigraphic studies and collecting various types of samples to help refine our chronologic understanding of the Permian through Neogene rocks in these basins. Further, we will be investigating the detailed geology along several proposed seismic lines (the first to ever be conducted in this region). The caliber of academic fire-power converging on this effort is incredible, many of these guys have each spent more time mapping geology than I've spent breathing.
...I wonder if saplings in a forest feel small.
