I took 82 flights in 2016, for a total of 221,494 km (137,000 miles), and I’ve just mapped them. That’s more than 5 times the circumference of the earth. Routes flown once are more blue, and the routes flown more often are more red.
That’s more flights and more km than in 2015, when I flew 54 times for 186,056 km. It’s been another extraordinary year for studying grass around the world.
Festuca and Agrostis in Washington.
Native grasses at BKK when it hasn’t rained for months.
Organic matter accumulation from Zoysia japonica above a sand rootzone in Japan.
Creeping bentgrass practice green with lots of target flags in Girona.
Puccinellia maritima (I think that’s the species) near Reykjavik.
