New Expeditions!

I hope you are enjoying our Expeditions blog as much as I do. It has been quite busy lately and is about to get even busier.

The Conserving Chagos series is now over. Big Thank You to Charles Sheppard and the rest of the crew for a wonderful series of dispatches from the ocean.

The Borneo Spiders series is going strong. Wayne Maddison will keep entertaining us and exciting us with all the new jumping spider discoveries for at least another two weeks.

Today, we are starting a new series. Matthew Sturm (who has already written quite a lot for us) is out studying snow on the North Slope of Alaska. This promises to be fascinating.

And tomorrow, we'll have Jim Haw, David Ginsburg and their students back on the blog (you may remember their Problems Without Passports from last year), with another series of adventures by the USC Dornsife Science Diving class.

Stay tuned!
