  When I worked in Gabon I was doing a carbon stock assessment, which in practice meant measuring thousands of trees and putting the measurements into a database.
  
  In Indonesia I have done social research (asking people questions about how they manage the forest – from people living on the forest edge all the way up to the policy makers in government); and wildlife research (placing camera traps to see what animals live in the forest there).
  
  For my PhD I will be doing a combination of both of these things 🙂
