Yesterday (Monday) I spent some time processing and reviewing my data. I was particularly concerned that working up to the very end of my time in Montana Iran the risk of collecting data that turned out to be no good, but I wouldn't know this until I had returned to New Zealand and started my analysis.
Knowing I would have to spent a lot more time with the data in the future, I wrote a couple scripts to give me a general idea of the quality of measurements. After reviewing this information with a professor here we identified a couple runs to measure again, but overall the data looks very promising. Not only is the quality high enough to believe the techniques were working correctly, but we are even seeing differences between samples which match with our initial hypotheses. That said, I have a lot of work ahead of me in performing a thorough analysis, but for now I am content with our results and I feel positive leaving Montana to return to Wellington.
