Wishing safe travels to our MACRO colleagues as they fly from Mongolia! Very excited for their arrival in the US, where they will conduct research as part of our Great Plains expedition this month.

5 sites in 5 days! The MACRO team has completed sampling on the first set of Zavkhan #River sites (western #Mongolia). Next, they move their camp downstream to continue sampling in the lowlands. (Photos: Anne Schechner; Mario Minder)

MACRO #gradstudent Jake Lutchen is ready to leave for #Mongolia tomorrow! Jake, along with a team of other students, will be collecting inverts from the Zavkhan and Khovd #Rivers of western Mongolia. We will also be collecting data on fish, metabolism, & hydrology at these sites.

Just 1 week until our next expedition! The MACRO team will be sampling the Zavkahn and Khovd terminal basin #rivers of Western #Mongolia starting mid-July. Here is a sneak peek of one of the Zavkhan River sites that we will sample! #FieldPhotoFriday (Photo: Battour Travel)
