The Johan Ashuvud Project 2004

					In the first week of June 2004, four students and two researchers stayed at Race Rocks for an intensive week. Sponsorship for this week comes from the Johan Ashuvud memorial fund. Webcasts of the day's events took place every night and on two days, school groups came out to help produce a program for live webcasting.
