I work in the Andes Mountains in Peru, from the high elevation cloud
forests to the lowland Amazon rain forests. The field work is tough, but the
land is amazing. I’ve been on 4 trips there (Apr ’07, Oct
’07, Jul ’08, and Jul ’09), and am conducting a large-scale
nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization experiment up and down the Andes from
the high cloud forests to the Amazonian rainforest. I’ve been out there
first with an enormous group from Oxford
as well as close collaborators and friends from Wake Forest and Edinburgh,
then by myself with some Peruvians, then leading some students on their
masters dissertations, and finally with a group of 15 artists from a group
called Cape Farewell.

field station.
