Sea Breeze @ Niwa. Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Thoughts on Leadership from Course. Whew- This week has been quite intensive. (Only half-way through! Some good stuff coming through though. Click on image to enlarge. Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Another thing I managed to do in Dunedin before the Leadership Course was to go out to the Royal Albatross Centre. What a terrific place after a picturesque drive along the coast from Dunedin. Not fully grown yet- they will grow to have a wingspan of 3 metres!

Sea Breeze @ Niwa. Saturday, June 30, 2012. My time at Niwa has come to an end. An amazing experience I recommend. I’ve learnt all sorts of science-y things. Had an exciting time, let the memories ring…. Way back to February it was all “Arrgh Go”,. With a trip to Bluff. For their deployment you know. Mobilising Argo Floats with ‘Our Far South’ to the Southern Ocean,. To measure salinity, temperature, and current motion. In March, I discovered a love for the Catlins. A week on values-based leadership.

Sea Breeze @ Niwa: Sunrise, Sunset
http://cbriese.blogspot.com/2012/06/sunrise-sunset_24.html
Sea Breeze @ Niwa. Sunday, June 24, 2012. Traveling into town each day has made me a bit of a 'morning report' listener. Had to stop the other morning though when going in particularly early to take a photo of the amazing sunrise looking over the Hutt Valley. And on another evening looking across the harbour at Mt Kaukau. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Our Far South- Argo Blog. There was an error in this gadget. Science Fair Project Ideas.

Sea Breeze @ Niwa: The RV Kaharoa
http://cbriese.blogspot.com/2012/06/rv-kaharoa.html
Sea Breeze @ Niwa. Thursday, June 21, 2012. Today I had a tour around the RV Kaharoa. She is less than half the size of the RV Tangaroa but has made some awesome voyages! The RV Kaharoa has deployed more Argo Floats than any other vessel and has an award for being a "World Champion Argo Float Deployer". Most Argo Floats get deployed off the side of regular container ships but the RV Kaharoa goes places away from regular shipping routes- she's one gutsy gal! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sea Breeze @ Niwa: Fort Ballance
http://cbriese.blogspot.com/2012/06/fort-ballance.html
Sea Breeze @ Niwa. Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Just above Mahanga Bay is the fascinating remains of the coastal artillery battery - Fort Ballance. This was constructed in the late 1880’s because of fears of a Russian invasion (! It was the first fort built in Wellington and named after the Defense Minister of the day- John Ballance. This was. Wellington's primary military fort until 1911 when Fort Dorset opened. Although heavily covered with graffiti now, it is still an amazing structure of rooms.
