Research is often portrayed in the media as very deliberate and precise. While the intended result of research is careful and accurate, the course in getting there couldn’t be further from that description. Logistics rarely go as planned, long waits are passed with artery bursting coffee consumption, white lipped pigs with big tusks always appeared when one is most remote and strange conversations with people carrying big knives are common occurrences. Our names are Michael Palace and Amanda Warner and we are both researchers on NASA’s Large Scale Biosphere and Atmosphere Project in Amazonia (LBA). We’d like to tell listeners about a day of fieldwork at a remote jungle site. During our last few trips to Brazil, Mr. Palace has made sound recordings of our car rides, lunches, discussions, and jungle sounds. A drunken machete worker playing a tune with notebook paper and a comb, hair pulling as a form of flirtation and scientific discussions on the planning and execution of fieldwork are a sample of the sounds recorded during our November 2002 field campaign to Juruena, Brazil. We’re hoping to give listeners a humourous understanding of what goes into the statistics they hear every day. If you are interested in this pitch please contact us at warneras@yahoo.com and palace@kaos.sr.unh.edu for further discussion. |
