Coral Timelapse

2 minute videos of damselfish on corals at One Tree Island in the southern portion of the Great Barrier Reef. Videos are 20x normal speed

I’ve compiled our data we collected at One Tree Island into this video and sped it up. Its kind of mesmerising watching the schools of fish dart in, out, and between the corals.

Science question: Do the Whitetail dascyllus (humbug damselfish) prefer acropra sp. or isopora sp. and can it be quantified?

Grade Calculator

As a coding exercise and my first dip into Angular JS I thought I’d make a grade calculator to help me estimate grades. I hope it helps anyone interested in estimating your grades needed to pass a course.

The link to the calculator can be found here.

Adventures at One Tree Island

One Tree Island – April 2019
Music: A Walk in the Woods – Martin O’Donnell & Micheal Salvatori

Went to One Tree Island Reef, a small coral cay in the southern portion of the Great Barrier Reef to study habitat preferences of fish on corals. It’s a beautiful ecosystem that I believe everyone should get to see in their lifetime. Definitely a place worth protecting and the reason why people should care about anthropogenic climate change.

Handsome Kookaburra close ups

This sly laughing kookaburra was putting on a show and didn’t seem like he minded the media attention. Found him at the University of Sydney’s Crommlin Research facility in Pearl Beach.

Quite the photographic birdy.

Reminds me of home…

California Mountain King Snake (Lampropeltis zonata)

Hey check out this gorgeous California Mountain King Snake I found making its way through the leaf-litter. King snakes are patterned this way to warn predators that they are venomous. Little do predators know that this snake is non-venomous and is just imitating the patterns of coral snakes which are actually venomous.

Just remember:

Red touches black, you’re OK Jack. Red touches yellow, you’re a dead fellow…

Figure 8 Pools

Figure 8 Pools Adventure

Tianna and I had a day journey to Figure-8 Pools in Royal National Park, NSW. A perfect slice of temperate Australian forests and rocky/epic cliffs. We ended up seeing a couple swamp wallabies and even a red-bellied black snake! Incredible!

So enjoy my first crack at an adventure video. I had a ton of fun out in nature and so should you!
