Hi everyone-<\/p>\n

Just a quick note today letting all of our readers know that the 8 members of this year’s field team all made it to their respective homes last week. \u00a0Jon was about a day ahead of the rest of the team on February 2; \u00a0most of the remaining folks headed north the next day, \u00a0and Daniela stayed in mcMurdo until the 6th. \u00a0 By Thursday everyone had made it back to their point of origin. They are now working on recovery from jet-lag and enjoying the benefits of the civilized world, \u00a0where getting a glass of water doesn’t require mining and 45 minutes of smelting.<\/p>\n

Jim and Brian are recovering, \u00a0but the clock keeps running for \u00a0ANSMET and we’ve already begun tackling a lot of our programmatic chores. A big focus is always backing up files and writing out notes to preserve all the lessons learned, \u00a0the gear stowed, and the plans made from the 2023-24 field season. Formal planning for next season (2024-2025) will begin in about a month. \u00a0Calendar management is a particular challenge, since many standards have changed in the past 3-4 years. \u00a0Understanding and adapting our schedules to the myriad deadlines we’ll face this year is a constant battle and really important; \u00a0miss the wrong due date for something and the season can evaporate quickly.<\/p>\n

The next “big” event for ANSMET is less important in practical terms, \u00a0but still important in a psychological sense. \u00a0We will (hopefully) be holding our annual “ANSMET Slide Show” at the Lunar and Planetary Science conference in Houston, held in mid-March. \u00a0The event started in the late 1980’s as a chance for ANSMET vets to share slides (remember film?) and as word got around, \u00a0it grew quickly. \u00a0Since then ANSMET vets and wannabees have gathered annually to allow the most recent crop of \u00a0field party members to share their stories and their experiences as they see fit. \u00a0 The “slide show serves a lot of purposes- it can be an outlet for exuberant joy and reflection, rebellious sensese of humor, a moment of closure , and a theatrical advertisement of the ANSMET volunteer opportunity. \u00a0 Jim is eager to bring it back to its full glory this March, and is working out the details for that gathering now.<\/p>\n
