May 15, 2025 - This last winter, I was a Scientists in Parks Cave and Karst Intern at Great Basin National Park. In addition to learning how to go caving, organizing and participating in this year’s Lint Camps, and taking part in a bunch of super fun bird and snow surveys, I was tasked with analyzing all of our existing temperature and humidity data for the park’s 40 caves.
