Supporters, Collaborators, Photographers, and Affiliations

Our field work requires meticulous planning and logistical maneuvering that can be costly and time consuming, not to mention all of the equipment and gear needed to work in some of the world’s harshest environments. We want to acknowledge the many people who help make our research possible as well as photographers and artists who provide images that help to share our research.
