Welcome!

Students did post to this blog site while we conducted our field study. We invite your comments and thoughts.

Our field deployment focused on three chief tasks; 1. Mapping the reef floor in 3D, 2. Shoreline Marine Debris investigation, and 3. Environmental characteristics sampling. All went exceedingly well.

This was the second trip in our long term plans. Our first trip and proof of concept was completed with great success in the Fall of 2009; our next proposed trip will be Fall 2010. Don't you want to join us?

It's been party time since Scott left -- of course with this group a party is a crowd hanging 'round a laptop talking about data! I don't know what's with these GIS students time but they sure ooh and ahh over each other's maps.

I spent some time today talking about the local animals with a resident, Linda, who has  been observing and taking notes for several years. She said she had a crocodile nest in her yard and occasionally sees a younger female croc from her veranda. She shared some of what she knows about the lizard populations on the island. Anywhere you go there is a lizard of some sort in your field of view.

    I laughed and laughed at the maps comment... until I realized that it's entirely true. Yes, we're nerds.
