Additional Notes

-other participants: Prof. Jenny Jay, Postdoc Chu-Ching Lin; -specific goals: 1) collect soil samples for microcosm experiments, 2) deploy sensors to elaborate previous data, 3) compare plant impacts (w/ & w/o plants), 4) water sampling to detect arsenic levels, 5) groundtruth through pH strips, HACH kits; -see the link below for the list of important letters/paperwork that we need to bring
