In August, Chuck went back to the Sandy River, Oregon where he has been doing fieldwork for his dissertation over the past four years. It all relates to studying the changes in the Sandy River following the October 2007 removal of the Marmot Dam. The last three summers meant one month camping in the field and running a crew of interns collecting data. The winters have involved last-minute trips to measure the river during large storms. This August was a 'toned down' version of the summer field data collection - i.e. no interns. The end of the data collection was capped off with a visit by Chuck's adviser (Peter Wilcock, Johns Hopkins), and three fellow grad students all studying gravel bars as well (The Barflies - Susannah Erwin, Christian Braudrick, and Andreas Krause).
