His students will be competing in the Monterey Regional ROV competition (Ranger Class).

Went on the MACON expedition as a teacher at sea with NOAA. He has since compiled a GIS lesson from that cruise.

His students are also working on research projects with GIS maps. This will include a project looking at sandcrab parasite loads on select San Luis Obispo county beaches, types and abundance of crab species in Morro Bay (especially European Green Crabs).  They are working with the Morro Bay National Estuary Program also to record sightings of loons in the bay (for part of a project Morro Coast Audubon is doing), and sighting locations of gray whales off of the SLO coast (working with one of the local whale watching boats). 

Is planning to integrate a GIS component into a new class titled Applied Research.
