Hello, it's me again. Now I want to talk to you about my job and my researches.I have a nice job, I think these about it because I can combine two differentand emotional topics of life; travel and science. I work on Atacama desert for one year and a half, my job has to do with trees, deserts, water relations and with the ecosystem.
I'm working in a hydrological relation between the Prosopis tamarugo trees and the depth to groundwater in Salar de Llamara. To do this job I need travel to Iquique all months, then when I arrive there I go by truck to the hart of the desert, to Salar de Llamara exactly and then I work sometimes for five days and sometimes for 3 days in that awesome but very hard place.
I say awesome because of the landscape is very beautiful and enormous furthermore I say that is very hard because of the temperatures at night can be -3ºC and 46ºC under the sun in the day. You don't have water anywhere, you need to take with you all water bottles that you can carry.
On desert we can see a lot of different animal and insects communities like Cumpeo foxes, Chilean lizard and some different kinds of birds.
