DAVID BLEVINS

I am working part time on the sampling, analyses, and interpretation associated with wrapping up the current rotation at the Henderson Site Productivity Study. I will also be involved in making plans to continue this study into the next rotation. Most of the rest of my time is spent working on a several photography projects.
