OK, it has been six weeks since I arrived here, and it will another six weeks before I leave. I have three major microscope projects. These are the Cretaceous silicoflagellates from a section in northwest cntinental Canada, a second project that studies sediments from several islands in the Canadian Archipelago, and then if there is time a project from the deep sea of the Indian Ocean. The scope work for the first two of these are now essentially done, and I am writing results, making figures, preparing plates and so forth. After that there should be an overview paper on the biostratigraphy of northern Canada, and then hopefully time to study the Cretaceous section from the INdian Ocean. Other projects keep turning up and I am dealing with dome of these and setting others aside for later.
And yes, I do need to get more pictures posted. I will try to get to that soon, plus more observations about this area and academic work in general. I actually have a lot to say, but very little time to say it.
