Welcome Scott!

We're happy to welcome science teacher Scott Doehler as our on-ship educator for Wiring the Abyss 2012.

Born and raised in Scarborough, Ontario, the son of two teachers, Scott has, along with many fellow Canadians, opposed Earth’s rotation and slowly drifted west. After backpacking around the world for a year following University, he enjoyed 10 great years teaching junior high school in Edmonton and Calgary before shifting to ‘Island time’ and joining the Brentwood Faculty in 2008. He brings to Brentwood an absolute passion for the rocks, raw power and beauty of the biogeosphere. Scott teaches courses in Geology, Biology, and Introductory Engineering, and leads an annual trip for the entire Grade 10 class to the Bamfield Marine Science Centre. Outside of the wonderful whirlwind that is Brentwood, Scott joins his wife Marianne – a fellow geologist - in passions for vocal music, snowboarding, and backcountry hiking. Summiting Kilimanjaro in Africa, and taking their 8-month-old son on his first month-long camping trip throughout Alaska and the Yukon exemplify the travel ‘bug’ that has so thoroughly bitten them both. Scott and Marianne live in beautiful Maple Bay with three wonderful children, two dogs, two cats, and one feisty horse.
