Photographs

Some photographs from my travels...

	California (40 Photos) During the summer of 2008 I spent 3 weeks working in the Paytan Biogeochemistry Lab at UCSC to learn how to perform a barite separation on my deep sea sediment samples. Mike came to visit for the last week, and we took some time to explore the area.
	Sudbury (45 Photos) I was fortunate enough to attend the 2008 Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada Student-Industry Mineral Exploration Workshop (PDAC S-IMEW). Highlights were the slag pour at Vale Inco and going underground! I took very few of these pictures, thanks to those that did.
	Maine (35 Photos) Two weeks of field work, performing seismic refraction and ground penetrating radar surveys on a rock glacier in the Deboullie Public Reserve Land and magnetometry and a GPR survey at an archaeological site at the junction of the Squapan and Aroostook rivers.
	Cuba (35 Photos) Mike and I missed Christmas in Canada and rang in the New Year of 2006 in Cuba. It was a great holiday, and my first exposure to a completely different culture. We tried to explore off the tourist track as much as possible, and while it meant ham and cheese for every meal it was totally worth it.
	England (55 Photos) Mike and I spent one week exploring London, and then another week visiting some of his relatives in Manchester. They were great and gave us the grand tour including Jodrell Bank (which I didn't have the camera for)! While in Manchester we also took a few day trips to York and Wales.
	Vancouver and Victoria (30 Photos) I've been to Vancouver with my family, and once on my way to Victoria with two other undergrads for a week at the NRC Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics (HIA). At the HIA, I interviewed the engineers and programmers working on the Canadian contributions to the Thirty Metre Telescope for a website.
	Newfoundland (30 Photos) In 2003, I went to Newfoundland to participate in the Shad Valley program at Memorial University. I liked it so much I returned in 2004 with my mom and brother! We were there for an amateur astronomy club conference and stayed to sightsee. I'd love to go back a third time!
	New Orleans (25 Photos) My last high school trip was a band trip to New Orleans. A perfect choice, a city that lives and breathes music! We did a workshop to improve our own performances and took in many others. The highlight: Louis Armstrong's first cornet. Or getting up close and personal with some alligators. I'm not sure.
