For three full days, I was able to attend presentations on in-depth debris flow research and had the opportunity to connect with professors and researchers from around the world. I was also able to spend time with a former RECCS student, Jess, who was mentored by Katy and Greg last year and still continues to work with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/20190612112359_IMG_3060-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/20190612112359_IMG_3060-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/20190612112359_IMG_3060-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/20190612112359_IMG_3060-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Katy (left), me (middle), Jess (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color\">Back at the office (Benson Earth Sciences), I have spent the last two full workdays getting familiar with the software I will be using for my project, Agisoft Metashape Pro. It allows you to upload photos of an object or landscape (taken at a series of angles) and then uses those photos to [ideally] recreate it as a 3D model. I&#8217;m currently working on modeling my little desk cactus. I have not been completely successful yet, but am getting closer each time I try and am CERTAINLY learning my way around this software. Alongside my cactus practice, I am going through a lengthy series of drone photos of the Chalk Cliffs debris flow site and selecting which ones I want to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/20190614055130_IMG_3192-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/20190614055130_IMG_3192-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/20190614055130_IMG_3192-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ciresblogs.colorado.edu\/reccs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/06\/20190614055130_IMG_3192-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Desk cactus poses for 46 pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I kicked off the first week with my mentors (Katy and Greg) FULLY submerged in the world of geomorphology.
