Fieldwork Friday

ihennessy on July 30, 2026

It has been quite a busy summer at UGAMI, with visiting investigators, graduate students and interns in residence, along with multiple researchers who came for shorter periods of time. One of our interns, Jayde Parker, created a series of short videos in which she interviewed researchers about their work. These “Fieldwork Friday” posts highlighted everything from blue crabs to tree frogs, and do a great job depicting the nitty gritty (emphasis on “gritty”) of field research.

Three images showcase Fieldwork Friday in action as people conduct fieldwork in grassy wetlands: one holds a bucket, two examine a crab in their hands, and another kneels at the water’s edge collecting a sample.
