Tuomas TammistoFriday #fieldwork photo:
a swidden garden in East Pomio, #PapuaNewGuinea.
The garden is planted with sweet potato, cassava, banana and yam, and probably many other plants.

A typical North Mengen "cooking house" (vail ta) in Pomio, #PapuaNewGuinea. Each household has one and it is where the married couple and uninitiated children live. The women in the photo are heating stones of an earth oven (svoin) and preparing taro to be roasted in it.
Food cooked in the earth oven is presented especially during ceremonial gift exchanges.

Ian BrooksSo, since I need a break from marking coursework, and I just saw a #FridayFieldworkPhoto from Antarctica, here's one from up north. The icebreaker Polarstern on the day it first moored to its ice floe at the start of the year-long #MOSAiC field campaign, on Oct 5 2019.

Nico FröhbergBecause I haven't had the time/energy to be very active online lately, so today I will combine #FridayFieldWorkPhoto with some bird photography. On research vessels, we are frequently visited by birds loooking for a resting spot or possibly mistaking us for fishing vessels. I love these opportunities to observe birds on the open sea especially when the conditions are as beautiful as on this calm day with the fulmars on the Skagerak.

#FridayFieldworkPhoto part 6: A woman preparing her yam garden for planting.
The Mengen in Pomio plant two kinds of yam, the greater yam (Dioscorea alata, Mengen: klaip, Tok Pisin: yam) and the lesser yam (Dioscorea esculenta, M: mis, TP: mami ).
After burning, women meticulously clean the plots from all debris before planting the yam in mounds.

A helicopter delivering #geophysics field equipment to the top of #Villarrica #volcano. It was the first (and so far only) project I've been on that used helicopters. If I recall correctly we installed gas monitors, did photography and gas sampling from a drone, and installed a seismometer, a gps station, and a gravimeter.
Ruth MottramTime for another #FridayFieldworkPhoto from #InglefieldBredning #Greenland from June 2021.
In the field, everyone lends a hand: Here we are hauling up the mooring that my #DMIdk colleague #SteffenOlsen leaves out every year to measure ocean temperature, salinity etc through the winter using #SeaIce as a #science platform.
The red buoy marks the position, the water here is 3-500m deep so pulling it up from the bottom takes some time + muscle power.

#FridayFieldworkPhoto part 5:
A men's house (ging) in a North Mengen village in East Pomio. Men's houses are in the center of villages with houses lining them on either side.
Villages have typically several men's houses established by neighboring households. The fronts of the men's houses serve as public and ceremonial spaces. Initiated boys and unmarried or widowed men live in them.
