Additional Comments: I had a fantastic experience. Excellent teamwork! The PI was very flexible in providing time for me to respond to email and to post journals. Just getting to a camp with power and internet access often required a 45-60 minute hike one way. The PI was very generous with the time I was given to stay in contact with my school and others.
