Welcome!

Hello, I’m Charles, currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Geological Sciences at the University of British Columbia.

Scroll down to see a collection of my personal projects in 2025 that emphasize the field skills I have developed, written in an informal blog-style format. My goal is to share the sense of discovery and learning that comes from spending time in the outdoors.
