Long time no Post...
Goin on 10 days straight of field work and lookin at 8 more minimum; but our seismic crew is mobilizing early which may mean that I have to stay and map the profile swaths with Kurt with no return to UB...Awesome!
Sorry no pics this time, the satellite connection is based on bytes sent and gets pricey with photos. :((
I'm lovin the field life and every time these guys speak, I learn. It is absolutely amazing to witness how much information can actually be observed from an outcrop when you have the experience they have, truly the sort of detail you could never gain in school... intuition is an amazing tool. For sure, my bar has been raised and my brain turned to sponge - best way to be I say :)
I will post some amazing photos and stories whence I return to the city, but for now I'll have to be minimalistic in my communicae.
Brando is lovin life, gettin worked by the 10-15 hour hikes and eating mutton and beef scraps like it's his job!!! The Mongolians really take to him once they realize how docile he is and continually call him over just to giggle while he eats out of their hands :)
Latest coordinates are (in decimal degrees, which you should be able to just type into google earth):
N 45.43628
E 101.82476
we are just north of a large rectangular looking basement block that is bounded by two significant east-west trending sinistral strike-slip faults. We found several hundred meters of lacustrine oil shale today (think Green River Formation), which we will formally measure tomorrow! now we cross our fingers and hope that the seismic results show it at depth in the basins within our block....lots of work yet to do!
Hope all's well and that the great blue sky shines over your heads,
Ciao!

Hey, Justin~
ReplyDeleteIt's your cousin, Kelly~
Your Mom gave me your blog address today when I was telling her about mine ;-)

By the way, awesome pic of your pup looking out over that basin...Gorgeous!
I know you don't have time but if you find some and want to follow back sometime my blog is angelpupscreation.blogspot.com
