back from Costa Rica to do work at Poás volcano - pictures coming soon. Of course the conspiracy theorists that saw our drone flying on the webcam got hundreds of thousands of impressions, while anything showing the work done there will get 12.... meantime here is the red legged honey creeper !

a suggestion for the new administration of our southern neighbour: all non-domesticated species that are not caged must always be near one of the handy info signs so their threat level to profits can be identified clearly.

#Kluane Range from the Yukon-Alaska Highway - a fun drive, but they should add more bears! Never enough bears, I would like to speak to management.

Going back to Costa Rica #Volcano #Poás this year to do gas sampling, LiDAR and hyperspectral data collection, really challenging crosswinds are the norm! Watching the clouds at sunrise on the crater rim was the highlight of the last trip! This lake has sub-pH 1, no fish spotted!
