I worked on Robinson Crusoe Island, Chile, for nine years. I have since moved away from academics and into consulting. I have a field site on the island that I could hand off to another person or at least make introductions to local authorities and to other researchers so you can begin your own research there. I would be happy to collaborate on future research planning, analysis and writing, but I can no longer do field work on a regular basis. I plan to go to Robinson Crusoe Island this November to terminate my project and I would be happy to make introductions and show you the field site if you wanted to come along. To run my research project cost me around $5000 per year. You would have to fund your research yourself; the Chilean government does not have research money and unfortunately neither do I. I do have several boxes of equipment that you could have. Speaking Spanish would be useful since very few locals or officials are fluent in a second language, though some officials speak some English.
If you are interested, please email me at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. I will also be at ESA and will put up a notice under C (for Chile) on the message board for a place to meet at Tuesday morning break.
