Last night, all seven undergraduates, one teacher, and one project coordinator arrived safely in the Dalbay Valley. The journey was mostly uneventful, but the length of it gives a great picture of just how remote this camp site is. Landing on the dirt runway was smoother than expected.

In contrast to the days of travel, things have been very quiet and sedate at the field site for these first few days. On the American front, there are the two postdocs – Pierre Liancourt and myself, two PhD students – Aurora MacRae-Crerar and Dan Song, one hardy undergrad –. Open-sided and open-top chambers at work.

Featured from the Field. The PIRE Mongolia blog. The Harvest Begins →. July 13, 2012. It’s been about nineteen days now since I’ve been in Mongolia, and I have to say it is quite different from the United States! Gers are sprinkled everywhere, yaks roam the cities and towns, and Mongolian babies (possibly some of the cutest babies on earth! Lets just say that my leg muscles get a pretty good workout every time Laura or Pierre has us walk up to Plot 9! But he is a magician when it comes to cooking. Ev...

Featured from the Field. The PIRE Mongolia blog. Newer posts →. June 12, 2012. Early Season in the Dalbay Valley. Maybe this year the growing season is just slow to get started? Last year, likewise arriving at the beginning of June, I was thrown into the thick of a beautiful show of steppe flowers – the nodding heavy purple Pulsatilla flowers (Pasque flower in vernacular English, perhaps due to their early flowering habits?

Featured from the Field. The PIRE Mongolia blog. July 26th, 2012. July 27, 2012. Today is the day we finished the harvest! After about a week of constant cutting, clipping, and bagging from 9 until 7 with only a brief break for lunch, I was ready for the completion. The great thing though is that we finished the harvest 3 days earlier than Laura and Pierre expected! After we finished the harvest, it was lunch time, and Khashaa cooked a mean lunch of cabbage salad and dumplings! When we got to the lake, I...
