We just got a paper on-line, which is about the elevational patterns of microbial biodiversity (Wang et al, In press). In this paper, we sampled six streams for bacteria and diatoms along mountainsides in three regions: one stream in (1) the Balggesvarri Mountain in Norway in 2012, one stream in (2) the Pyrenees Mountain in Spain in 2012, and four [...] Read more

I got one day trip to Potomac River on Saturday and one day workshop on Big Data Analyses on Sunday. In the Monday afternoon, I had my presentation on elevational diversity patterns on aquatic microbes. In the other days, I can easily find [...] Read more

In July-August, we sampled small lakes from Northern Norway and Finland. These lakes are covering elevational gradients from 0 to over 1,000 m, with clear changes in temperature. The lakes on high elevations were partly covered by snow during the sampling period. It would be interesting to see how the physicochemical and biological changes from the [...] Read more

We sampled streams in Haba Mountain. It was raining in the first two days, which caused huge trouble for the field trip. However, we were lucky in the following weeks with shining sun and sweet weather.

We sampled stream bugs and microbes on islands of North Norway in 2013. The weather was wonderful for camping except for the rain sometimes. But we managed to sample over 100 streams. I am sure I will go back someday.

Field sampling is a kind of camping trip, with natual scences, animal encounters and BBQ. This is especially true for the trip to the North of Finland and Norway.
