Day five in Kauai: The Quarry Expedition

Today was the great quarry expedition of Kauai. Ok, not really. Dr. Burney took the archaeology team out to the quarry adjacent to the sinkhole. He hopes to create a restoration plan for the area, and the GIS knowledge we know could be used to produce said plan. In conjunction with him, I would love working on this project. At first, we explored the lower quarry recording data points along the way of areas of ecological and/or cultural interest. It was during this portion that Dr. Burney took us bush-wacking and explored a cave.After lunch, we explored the upper quarry, again recording data and line points along the trail. During this portion, we observed fossils, a fissure in the ground, and Dr. Burney chasing after a goat.

Solid day. I chose my individual project and witnessed Dr. Burney chase after yet another animal.
