Details

The work being done here often starts with a shovel test pit (STP). The shovel test pit location is set by establishing a line (transect line) and then putting a numbered flag every 2 meters. The digging is then done at each test pit. Once a line a finished, they start working on the next one. The lines are staggered so that every square meter is checked. Point Barrow, Alaska.
