As a final project for the summer, Jim asked us to create a poster on the research we helped with. This was definitely an eye-opening experience. I have decided to include the third diurnal in my poster, which will happen after my 8-weeks is finished, so my poster will continue to be worked on through the school year. I'm confident this is the right decision though, so I'm willing to put in the extra work. It felt like the poster went no place fast, but after a couple hour shifting data and making graphs it started to really look like something.
Right now the poster is relatively finished, but we have no place to present it associate with the REU. I may submit my to a undergraduate exhibit with Penn State and/or the AAG (American Association of Geographers) conference. They talked about sending us to Dallas in November to present, but don't know if the conference they wanted was appropriate/will not have travel funds.
In other news, the monsoon season was a bust this summer. We had two decent rainfalls, but nothing that I would consider a monsoon. It's funny since the people I work with put os much emphasis on the monsoon, Erin and I just tell them they made it up.
I'm ready to move onto other things, and really excited to get the school year started. I leave for home tomorrow and have three days of driving ahead of me, but I'm excited.
