Dawn-to-dusk measurements in the vineyard

Asfaw, Tal, and Miri helping Noam out ​- August 2016

A Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard at Nana Farm

Bringing an undisturbed sand sample from the Nizzana sand dunes

May 16, 2015.  Excavating the sample took us less than an hour.  Getting the car out of the sand took another two hours and some help from the locals.

Taking an undisturbed soil sample for the micro-lysimeter

May 25, 2014.  Luckily we weren't ready for the May 1st deadline.  We had 22 mm rain (~1/4 of the annual precip) in less than 24 hours a couple days later... now we are! Just in time
