Hello Dr. Tiwari and all, I am interested in any advice from the Geowall teams going to the conference on how you are transporting the geobox there, and if you have any tips. What past expereinces have you had with mailing, flying, or some other method of transporting the box and materials have you had, and can you share them with me?

Miriam, At one point, ASU did have special carrying case for their box - check with Dr. Kavazanjian. For 2015, Pacific just checked it as a piece of luggage. They had us sign one of those forms that says that they aren't responsible for damage, but the boxes are pretty tough. Too, we put most of our supplies inside the box and put a lid on it with screws. The airlines were curious and when they found out that it was a collegiate contest, they didn't even charge us an overweight/oversize fee. Good luck.

University of Arkansas

Miriam, The University of Arkansas has had success in disassembling the box and fitting it into a suitcase and simply checking the bag. The flat box doesn't take up much room so it leaves space for our supplplies to fit in the suitcase too!

Miriam Woolley

Thank you both for the tips, I'm going to see how disassembling and checking it works.
