So the cruise is finally done and we have managed to finish a couple of days earlier. It has been a great experience and would definitely head on another research cruise if I had the chance. There have certainly been some highs and some lows, but they are all memorable. Some aspects could definitely be classed asType II Fun. With the world's greatest earthquake hazards being sourced from under the sea, marine seismology is becoming increasingly important. However, ship time is expensive and we are not able to get real-time data from these experiments. Canada is experimenting with a marine cable observatory in the eastern Pacific, which is providing real-time information on earthquake and tsunami hazard. Unfortunately, such an experiment is very expensive to build and run, but there is potential for more of these instruments to be developed around the Pacific Rim.
