We will help the volunteers in the morning and listen to lectures and do nature hikes in the afternoons. On the island of Hawaii, field research will be conducted (data will be collected from boats, plane and on land) on freshwater intrusion into the ocean. We leave January 13 and return is on the 23rd. January 6-10 will consist of a lecture series and debate or paper. Lodging (in cabins but sleeping bags will be required) and some of the meals will be provided. Airfare will be subsidized.
