It consists of an introduction to the field site, data of last years experiments, code snippets to visualize the data and a number of tasks for the students to work on. In case of problems or questions pertaining to this document, the data or the code therein, please contact Beatrice Marti (martib at ethz point ch). In case of questions regarding the tasks please contact Joaquin Jimenez-Martinez (jjimenez at ethz point ch) or Matthias Willmann (willmann at ifu.baug.ethz point ch).
