Finally got the website back up and running. Now time to poke around the new WordPress and see what’s new…

Here’s a quick post to test out the new WordPress and give a quick update to the goings on at Harbor Branch

On September 24th, Harbor Branch opened it’s doors to the public to celebrate National Estuaries Day. There were activities for the kids and guided tours around campus. Our engineering group decided to put together a little demo of coral fluorescence for the tour groups passing through the Engineering Test Facility. In just a few short weeks, we built a laser scanning system to measure coral fluorescence at four different wavelengths of light (i.e. colors).

We placed this scanner next to a tank with live coral and scanned it while explaining what fluorescence is and it’s link with coral health.

Here goes a video of the scanning process:

Well, if you can’t see the video above, that means you’re using Firefox or Internet Explorer which both don’t have support for iPhone videos. If you’re using Firefox and have QuickTime installed, you can right click on the box and hit “View Video” to play it. No work around with Internet Explorer though.
