Here I am posting on this blog again, even though I'm breaking my rule I just set about only posting in the mornings. This post is a quick update for my INSPIRE folks letting them know that I am actually starting to do work. While it mostly consist of reading papers (No that's not facebook on my computer behind me..well maybe a little), I am really enjoying it so far.Dr. Arko Lucieer, my research professor at UTAS will be in tomorrow. Today I am working with one of his graduate students, Phillippa (She is called Pip). She is really extremely sweet and is helping me find my niche here in the department. I am currently looking at her research at Macquarie Island, called Macca. She specializes in the ecology on the island using remote sensing to help her support her random sampling theory. Pretty great stuff. So great that I am actually planning on referencing some of the papers she has provided me for my own research.
Along with paper reading, it is great to see that they are into the same textbooks I use everyday in my research. Tonight we are headed to dinner with Pip. Our goal over the next two weeks is to get me up to speed on their statistical analysis and also a few digital elevation models. While I will be mostly studying the research here, I will apply it all to my research at home.
