They let us out to do "field work" *gasp! ;-)

This is what Steve and I usually look like...

Dissolving sediment
Stimulating plankton feeding

It's no secret that our projects are a bit less glamorous than the field work of the other students: squirreling through Timna mine tunnels, building saltwater pools for culture experiments, or SCUBA diving for coral samples.

However, yesterday, this all changed!

...Steve and I went outside. *gasp!

I needed a groundwater sample from the coastal well ~5 m from our office and I needed a "field assistant."

So, we packed our "gear" and headed out the door.

We then "hiked" the whole 5 m, across the sand, in the sun, along the beach, uphill both ways until we arrived at our "field site:" 
The Well

Don't fall down!
Lowering the bucket into the well
























Phew!
Nobody fell down into the well.
Mission accomplished!



Success!
Sample - collected!
























Then, after all our tireless minutes of work, it was time to kick back and celebrate.

A job well done!
