This past year Dr. Martinez was selected to be a River Scholar in the River Field Studies Network that gathers river scientists from all over the US to learn field teaching methods. The River Rendezvous began with a five day raft trip down the San Juan River in Utah. River Scholars learned to organize river trips for 20+ students, about swift water safety, and about the southern Colorado plateau while admiring the river scenery.
