The clouds cleared today, although the cold remained. Carl took us out to the Soda Butte to look at stream terraces and erosional processes. We mapped four terraces with a laser scanner and stadia rods in order to find the incision rate of the river.
After that, we drove over to Mammoth Hot Springs and talked about the geothermal activity in the area. I must say, the sites are beautiful. I was here as a child, so it cool to match my experiences with a deep understanding of the processes that form such magnificent features.
Tomorrow is Katie's birthday. Woo! We will be in the vans all day, so it was decided that we should celebrate with a cake tonight. Happy 20th Katie!
