Excellent coordination by the team — greatly valued them managing all contracts and related housekeeping behind the scenes, freeing up the Evaluation Team to ensure science based interaction & quality delivery, that is on time and according to spec.

It can be isolating to work independently and consult, and it was so nice to interact with other geoscientists and see other people's interpretations and approaches. It is a little scary to share an interpretation, because you always get something wrong or miss something. However, I have always found the experience to be positive, and to be an opportunity for growth, and this was no exception.

Technically an interesting project which facilitated me bringing to bear some of my key skills in terms of detailed interrogation of the data revealing details and insights maybe not previously seen.
