A new semester of the Mongolia Round River study abroad program is officially underway, with four students here to experience the magic of Mongolian autumn. Despite this life being vastly different from what most people would call the norm, I am already dreading the day we leave this beautiful land. Things might change, but for now, all I can say is that I wish I could stay here forever. Let this semester never end.

Being in Mongolia with these people was an awesome, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Over the past 6 weeks, we got closer, learned how to work with each other, and had a lot of fun. We learned so many new skills including camera trapping, field work, surveying, and collecting data in various habitats. We will miss Mongolia, all the people we’ve met, and the memories and friendships we’ve made.

Throughout the last week, the Round River Mongolia crew hopped in the Furgon (and the Delica) and drove across the steppe to 85 plots, measuring indicators like grass height and vegetation cover in order to observe how these pika populations were responding to environmental pressures they are facing.
