_We expected to find meltwater coming from the ice stream above, a fast-moving channel of ice that flows from the center of the ice sheet toward the ocean. What we didn't expect, but we found in this thick layer of sediments, was a huge amount of groundwater—including saltwater from the ocean._

#Introductions
Hi there.
I’m Paul and as you can tell I’m currently a #Piper who plays the Piob Mor #bagpipes, and a #Pilot who owns and flies an #Ultralight in #NovaScotia.
I have a wonderful partner @vgrayauthor who is also a #StepMom to my four adult children and 10 grandchildren.
As a life-long learner I have dabbled in, or immersed myself in, the following:
#ComputerScience (new discipline in this emerging field in 1966; mainframes were the marvels - IBM 7040, PDP-10)
#Xerox (22 yr. career in Canada; during this time #PARC developed what we now call the #PersonalComputer)
#SelfEmployment (another 22 yr. consulting in the human / business side of #IT; Including the #ITILFramework; and the development of teamwork for results through #McCarthyTechnologies #CoreProtocols; coaching other business people)
Now #Retired
#Piping (starting as a teenager in a #PipeBand a long time ago)
#Sailing (crew and owner of several small boats, and #SailBoards; born on #IsleOfWight, so no surprise)
#Flying (#Sailplanes, #HangGliders, #Ultralights, and now considering electric #ParaGliders)
#Motorcycles (over the years owned a Honda 350, Honda Shadow 750, and now a Honda CBF1000A)
#EV (Electric Vehicles) (owner of a 2018 Tesla Model 3)
#Greyhounds (have adopted 5 over the years)
#ProblemSolving (playing MacGyver for the above list; also since we live in a 170 yr. old house on a #PetticoatFarm)
I like to ask questions. Don’t hesitate to stop me if I get annoying.
Will answer any questions with Don’t Know if I really don’t (i.e. not afraid to be clear about my ignorance)
Getting as much out of every minute as I can, so only opening my laptop when not otherwise busy.
