Two flightless Kiwi
Two flightless Kiwi, Chris Moy from Otago University and I, will be following the bar-tailed godwit (kuaka), one of New Zealand’s native birds to Alaska at the end of May. While we must fly in a plane for over 12 hours, the godwit that is best known for being able to fly 12,000 kilometres in eight days will complete the journey unaided.
Happy Earth Day! Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3...
Happy Earth Day, everyone! Students and teachers across the U.S. have been working hard all year, we’re all tired, and it’s so important that we remember why we all put in the long hours at school and beyond.
Seaweek at the National Aquarium
At the National Aquarium we have been celebrating Seaweek with a variety of fun events! Our theme this year was Healthy Seas, Healthy People so we had beach clean ups, poetry readings, lectures, fun runs and art competitions.
Day 4 (04/05/2013)
Day Four: Now that we are settled in to life on the JR, I wanted to take a minute to write about what it is like to be living here. 12 hour shifts can seem a bit daunting at first glance, but there is a rhythm to the day.
A BIG thank you to everyone
Hi everyone - I just wanted to pass on the news that being on the ship "JR" is very comfortable.

The Cyclicity of the Reflectivity
In analyzing some ocean core data yesterday, a few of us got a little punchy and came up with this little rhyme. I mean, hey, even us teachers like to mix it up a bit!
An Ode to Shatsky Rise
It was serendipity that we discovered the simplicity of the periodicity of the cyclicity as shown by the reflectivity at Shatsky Rise.
Take a Trip Back in Time!
Take a moment. Step into your time machine. Go back to the the late 1800s. This is a time before computes and texting. Before electricity in your home. Before cars.
Can't Believe I'm Here!
My first view of the JR from the coast along Juan de Fuca on Sunday--I could just see the top of the derrick peeking above the coastal bluffs.
Just look at where I'm standing now! The tours of the ship have been amazing; who knew we would get a chance to be this close to the action.
