Mekong field work – fall 2014

Just a quick update from the field –

Week 1 of Mekong field work went well; after planning meetings, the channel group (UW + Tulane + VNU) started multibeam and water column surveys, the mangrove group (UW + U. of Waikato + WSU + Boston U + VNU) began instrument deployments, and the shelf group (UW + NSCU + IMGG) loaded the boat & departed from Saigon.
