Hanging out while the Trimble gets more GPS info
Someone stands on a beach holding a Trimble instrument on the edge of where the water is lapping the shore. The sky is mostly cloudy with the blue sky barely visible through some of the cloud coverage.
Just gotta get a reading right where the water meets the sand.

Taking field notes along with the GPS data is important for creating accurate reports after the field work is done.
A small bluff is stretches from the left to the center of the image. To the right is a sandy beach. The sky is cloudy.
Someone caught a great example of coastal erosion in action.
Prominent ripple marks in damp beach sand.
This is what ripple marks look like.

Seth Classen is standing silhouetted on the side of a graveled road holding a Trimble instrument. The road is in the middle of a grassy field. The sky is partially cloudy and the sun is setting.
Seth is so dedicated to tracking GPS data that he forgot to look at the sky.
Bird's eye view of a portion of the town along it's coastal edge. The water is mostly frozen with the ice clearing out further out to the horizon. The sky is partially cloudy and the sun is setting, making the sky a mixture of oranges and blues.
A really nice sunset shot at Hooper Bay.
Three people stand near a short bluff bordering a beach. The person holding the Trimble instrument is standing on top off the bluff's edge. The two other people are standing at the base of the bluff, one is pointing at something in the middle of the bluff and the other is writing in the field notebook. The sky is cloudy.
This bluff is very interesting and needs to be investigated.

Taking notes and checking the GPS coordinates
Two people stand in frame. One is holding a Trimble instrument at the bottom right of the photo, the other is standing towards the left-middle of the frame. The one with the Trimble is standing at the base of a slope, the other is standing in the middle of the slope. The slope has tall dry grass. The top of the hill has a few buildings. The sky is partially cloudy.
GPS protocol requires that one person records the location while the other stands on lookout for snipes.
Seth Classen is holding a Trimble instrument, standing in a gravelly field with a thin layer of snow and ice. Behind him are a few storage containers. The sky is overcast.
Seth might look like he is rethinking his life choices, but he’s actually looking at something really cool out of camera frame… like flood models.

Chris, Harper, and Seth, or CHS for short, are the dream team for field work.
Chris Maio is taking a selfie-style photo. He seems to be standing in water. Behind him, Seth Classen is walking towards the shore of a beach, holding a Trimble instrument. Seth is walking towards Harper Baldwin who is standing on the shore. There seems to be more water braking on the farther side of the shore. The sky is overcast.
Chris likes taking selfies when he is marooning his crew.
