Students from the New York City Home Educators Association (NYCHEA) took second place behind Blue Hills Technical High School in the 2008 NE Regional ROV Design Competition sponsored by the Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) project. Winners advanced to the international competition on…
I recently discovered this blog post from early January that mentions the USA Science and Engineering Festival. We would like to give a Shout out to Mary at The Open Helix Blog for her post on January 4th covering the science festival!
Do you have a blog and would like to help us get the word out…
For most of human history, our ability to perceive and understand very fast optical events has been limited by the temporal resolution of the human eye. Things that happened too fast were a blur, and all we had to go on was guesswork. Take, for instance, this 1821 painting of a horse race:
If it…
I am sure that they will be carefully surveying the whole path for important deep sea life, right? They wouldn't callously rip through hundreds of kilometers of seabed without very careful environmental studies, right? Yeah, right.
Okay, as an ROV pilot, I find that REALLY COOL, but as a biologist/environmentalist, I find it really terrible and saddening... I think the biologist/environmentalist side wins, hands-down on this one for me.
Exactly my dilemma, totally taken back with the coolness but...
Sounds like driving a tractor through the Alps. Avalanche anyone? Apparently not: doi:10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2004.10.022
If only.....
Although... it's a very narrow path, really. Less wide than a SINGLE deep-water bottom trawl (They fish in the 1000s of meters here in British Columbia for "Idiots", or Thornyheads, Sebastolobus spp., and as I know from my work, areas of 'special' habitat are pretty infrequent in the deep water. Who knows? It might not be all that bad compared to abuse we heap on the deep sea everyday. Any thoughts, Admins? :)
