The Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE seeks to usher in a new era of deep exploration of the oceans. This will both help with/foster both basic and applied research. Not the least of which will be to boost our understanding of baseline conditions before subsequent impacts from deep sea mining of oil/gas extraction. Formal Announcment Here… Read more »
This weekend come see our booth at the Lakey Peterson Keiki Bowl Saturday December 19th!
I am almost done with my first draft introduction to my research. More updates to come during winter break.

Today, I was signed up to go to present my capstone project at the middle school. I … Continue reading Crossing the Channel Program →
Guy Trimby (Plymouth Marine Laboratory) in collaboration with Paul Spaur, and the rest of the AARR team, set to prove that OpenROVs can be used as tools to detect fluorescence in the marine environment, and used the Cook Islands as a test bed for this experiment.Guy developed an UV LED light package, which excites proteins […]
In order to really verify that what I am seeing on the radar is a bird, I am going to need to verify it with sightings on the ground. Peak migration happens at night (and in the spring and fall) so this will take time and a thermal imaging camera. I have several ideas from … Continue reading Thermal Imaging
I have gotten through the tough wind problem I was faced with and have created a formula which can be used in the algorithm to shift directionality of movement based on wind. I am using a color scheme that picks out targets that are within the right speed, this is radial velocity. and I have … Continue reading Filtering Out The Clutter
Today I had a presentation at R.J. Frank Academy of Marine Science and Engineering to show them my capstone project and tell them a little about college in general. Overall they were pretty receptive, especially when it came to an activity, which I created for them. The activity was to somewhat give them a taste … Continue reading R.J.
