Meet Peter Holmberg Physical Scientist. This blog post is a collaborative effort.
Peter was in the middle seat between Mary and me on the plane(my sister likes the aisle, I like the window) from Seattle to Anchorage.
I said he’d be a great subject for my People at Work Series.
I’m going to let him tell you what he does…..
Here is a video which is the embodiment of how we use multibeam sonar data to map the ocean floor. Though this is a laser sensor projected onto sand instead of a sonar bouncing sound off the ocean floor.”
Thanks Peter. It was so great to meet you. Thanks for writing back with the correct details about your work. I thought the black and white version made it feel more “seriously scientific” 😉
Impressive!
Such a handsome smile! I see pure joy there. This photograph made me smile. And a physical scientist? As a biologist, I can only sit back admire those involved with the physical sciences.
Thanks Russell.
This series gives you the opportunity to chat to all sorts of handsome men 🙂
So happy he wrote and explained it, too. Thanks Russell
Good plan, eh? he was an exceptionally good sport cause I took his photo with the real camera I had to dig out of my backpack after we deplaned and you know how everyone wants to get where they are going. So nice.
Love the post! Beautiful smile Russell!
I mean Peter!😝
Nice capture, Ruth!
What an interesting job that would be. I would love to meet this guy.
What a great sport! How long did he sit between the two of you? (I.e. how long was the flight?)
About 3 1/2 hours But she and I don’t talk to each other during the flight. Or pass apple slices. 🙁
Ha! 🙂
Great post, Ruth, and what luck being seated next to him. My neighbors on a plane usually have me scrambling to find my headphones a few sentences after the helloes.
