    Field plans

    Scientific permits within Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks, especially for geophysical equipment and helicopter use, are being coordinated by Steve Park with USNPS personnel (David Graber and Annie Esperanza). At present, coordination with USNFS and BLM are being conducted by individual researchers.
