Good Canadian solution for ROV (remotelty-operated submersible vehicle) grab handles: hockey pucks, from Canadian Tire, of course


Sunrise this morning....
The sun rises over the mainland- the reflection between the trees is the Straight of Georgia.

The wildlife is less wary that I am accustomed to. You should see the deer saunter across the road, or the crows steal food from your hand. I was 60 cm from this little guy.

working on the Saanich peninsula

Sunny Sidney by the Sea




Wee snake found in lab


Crows on the line


Nonchallant crow, casually eyes the unattended energy bar.


Three pirate crows dispute the booty.


Who needs dogs begging for scraps when there are roosters (at the Roost)?






This is my experiment, all packaged in an anodized aluminum pressure vessel. Inside there is a gravity meter in gimbals. I use this to measure acceleration of the seafloor, because it is easier to measure acceleration than it is to measure displacement. The seafloor moves because waves push upon it. So, I also measure tiny changes in pressure. I look at these two and their ratio and it tells me about the stiffness of the underlying sediments.* As you can see, the sun was setting. This was Sunday at 9 pm, when we finally got everything to work harmoniously. The darkness of the sky allows you to see the reflection of the room, including the triangular box which now houses the sphere.
