Please include your T-shirt size in the space provided on the Registration Form.

    During the Survey
      We will follow collecting guidelines while on the Valles Caldera. These will include

  • Working in teams of 2-4 people.
  • Photographing all specimens in situ. This will require some participants' using their own digital cameras. Please note on the Registration Form if you have a camera you are willing to use.
  • Recording coördinates of each collection. We will (probably) use USNG (or MGRS) coördinates based on the WGS84 (NAD83) datum. Please note on the Registration Form if you have a GPS receiver you are willing to use, and be familiar with setting it to the above options. (If uncertain, we can address this on Friday evening.)
