Adventure On A Bus

December 8, 2015 By Spencer J. Gibson

Before I begin let me give a little caveat emptor: This Post Involves Some Violent Content, Viewer’s Discretion Advised.   India has been incredible, but there is too much to talk about. Here’s a story:   So I was on a weeklong stint of independent travel with Lauren during late October. Catching a sleeper train […]

Some Time Spent In Chennai

October 28, 2015 By Spencer J. Gibson

Chennai was an interesting city to stay in. I had heard a mix of things before arriving. I had been told that it was a progressive city with friendly people and delicious food. I was told the beach was beautiful but dangerous. I was told that the city was “safe.” I heard it a city […]

A Lifetime of Jury-Rigs

October 7, 2015 By Spencer J. Gibson

I have begun looking at articles on “jugaad” as the basis of my India abroad research paper. Jugaad is not a mere word; it is a mode of action, a philosophy of out-of-the-box thinking (or sometimes out-of-the-law thinking), and a generally creative and perpetually adaptive and unfinished form of problem solving. It is easy to […]

New Life in an Old City

October 4, 2015 By Spencer J. Gibson

I was asked to write a post that summarized my experiences in India thus far.  I was told it could be about anything.  I wrote one and in it I tried to summarize my thoughts and reflections but I really couldn’t give its worth.  There has been so much and all of it, the beautiful […]

Diving Deeper into Coral Reef Ecology at Lady Elliot Island

Diving Deeper into Coral Reef Ecology at Lady Elliot Island

Another day in paradise. Today marked our third day on Lady Elliot Island, and it’s easy to see that we’re all getting used to this. Waking up early isn’t a challenge with the bright sun and the cacophony of seabirds, but for once no one is upset, as our first activity is a quick snorkel […]

Journey to the top of Queensland – 5/4/18

Journey to the top of Queensland – 5/4/18

Today marked our last day at Carnarvon, with our next stop to be the Great Barrier Reef. Although we’ve stayed at Carnarvon Gorge longer than expected due to the cyclone off the eastern coast, it allowed us to explore even more of the beautiful park. We were woken again by the sounds of Laughing Kookaburras, […]

Great Times at Great Kepple

Great Times at Great Kepple

April 7, 2018 Our first full day on Great Kepple Island! We spent the morning in lecture learning about coral, coral reefs (there’s a difference!), conservation and the general weather trends that can dictate the biogeography of the ocean. While some had come into this program with invertebrate knowledge from classes at Lewis and Clark, […]

Planes, trains, automobiles and the amazing reef!

Planes, trains, automobiles and the amazing reef!

On April 10th I woke up to the sound of the train wheels clacking. It was 5:30 in the morning. I was so tired but also so thrilled to be traveling to a new destination. Soon after we woke from the comfy and unique accommodation of the train, we all gathered our belongings and hopped […]

Under the Milky Way Tonight

Under the Milky Way Tonight

  On April 3, 2018 we stayed at the Takarakka bush resort in Carnarvon Gorge. One of the many highlights of Carnarvon George is the sky. Specifically, the entire Milky Way. Which, as our tutor brought up, used to be a sight that everyone could see. It is because of our cities light pollution that […]
