#FieldworkFriday: Sometimes the smallest finds tell the biggest stories. 🏺
Douglass et al. explore how sparse artifact scatters can reveal long-term patterns of land use. Using cases from Australia and the US, they show why documenting every the find is key.

It’s an exciting #FieldworkFriday for me today — I’m travelling from -2 °C snow in Denmark to 22 °C in Najaf, #Iraq!
Together with my colleagues Tobias Richter from Copenhagen and Jaafar Jotheri from Al Qadisiyah University, I’ll be scouting out potential sites for future fieldwork as part of #AEGIS (https://aegisearth.bio). It’s my first time in Iraq so I cannot wait to finally see all the places I’ve been reading about since I was student!
At GeoGenetics, our cross-disciplinary research uncovers molecular clues from the past - illuminating evolution, disease, and environmental change, advancing fundamental knowledge, and driving innovative applications for today’s world.
On this #FieldworkFriday here's a look at a Dust^2 team as they near the end of a day in the field.
Take a deeper trip into the field with Cluster member Jeff Munroe in our video series called The Collectors Tour: https://bit.ly/CollectorsTourPlaylist
In this stop along the Collectors Tour Jeff answers the question: what happens when it snows?

In October, 2024 Jeff Munroe (Middlebury College) spent nearly three weeks traveling to 20 mineral dust collectors deployed on mountain summits in the southwestern United States for the DUST^2 Project, part of the Critical Zone Collaborative Network. This short film documents the majestic landscapes in which the collectors are located, and provides a sense of what it’s like to conduct such a long stretch of solo fieldwork.
