On April 22, 1999, several children visited the WHFC. In the morning they
informally viewed labs and visited with sponsors. In the afternoon, Chris
Polloni hosted a multi-media overview of Stellwagen Bank/MassBay GIS. There
was a show-and-tell on Sand Resources of the Long Island, New York Inner
Shelf. Ann Swift described seismic data, and Rob Thieler explained sidescan
sonar interpretations. Judy Commeau brought the children through the
Electron Microscope Facility and showed them images of recently processed
samples. The children also went to the Marine Operations Facility where
Ken Parolski set up the "SEABOSS" (the video cam with a roving eye). The
children could see themselves in a "real-time" display. Because the "SEABOSS"
had been discussed during the morning's GIS demo as the bottom-sampler used
to obtain pictures and sediment samples from Stellwagen Bank, the children
recognized it immediately! Marinna Martini and Nancy Soderberg provided
the final tours of the Sediment Transport team facilities and the Data Library.
