/sci/ - Science & Math

If you work on classified workplace, then draw a diagram dumbass.

Btw, the concept is based on Sublimnos, a very cheap ($10,000) underwater habitat built by Canadian students. Their design was mostly steel. With modern thermoplastic molding I think the price can be reduced greatly while at the same time providing a better view.

It's about $10,000 in materials, by far the cheapest design. What body of water would we put it in, how deep, and what would we study there?

It should be somewhere that lots of us can get to it, so a look at where most of /sci/ is posting from would be handy. It should be somewhere that there's a lot of interesting shit to study that could produce worthwhile research papers.

There's a large swathe of tribal land about to be flooded by the construction of a new dam. It would be interesting to watch what happens to the landscape as it gradually transitions from being a terrestrial biome to a freshwater marine biome. And swimming above/among trees would be a really surreal experience while it lasted. Here's an example of what it would look like:
