Curious about how waves shape our beaches? 🏖️

🚨We can measure waves along 10s of km of coastline with incredibly high resolution using seafloor telecommunication cables! We show an application of this for understanding waves in sea ice in our new GRL open-access publication: https://t.co/ganBFLEqAm 1/

[Christine M Baker @christinembaker]

@ChristinaToms That would be wonderful. Looking forward to it!

[Christine M Baker @christinembaker]

Interested in dynamics at the land-ocean interface? I am recruiting graduate students to join my research group focused on coastal engineering/processes at @Stanford.

@HumayoonCh Great! Please send me an email with your CV.

A grand start— the cameras are still standing post-Tropical Storm Ophelia. Excited for continuous imagery of Masonboro over the next year to study beach evolution.

[Katherine Anarde @anardeeek]

After an incredibly hard push by @christinembaker @mattware_phd @coasthelen, with support from @joewlong @NCReserve @UNCW_CMS, the stereo cams are up! Get ready for a year of MasonBEAST: Beach Evolution Assessment using Stereo Technology on Masonboro Island. So tired, so proud.

@TreillouS @melissarmoulton We performed a few dye release experiments, but primarily focused on trials with wiffle balls and foam as tracer. We currently don’t have plans to analyze the dye release experiments. I am happy to chat if you’re interested!

Check out our article on rip currents. We talk about our ongoing work to better predict rip current hazards and their influence on coastal ecosystems:

[Melissa Moulton @melissarmoulton]

Rip currents are dangerous for swimmers but also ecologically important – here’s how scientists are working to understand these ‘rivers of the sea’

Thanks Emma Nuss for leading this article with Audrey Casper, @christinembaker, Walter Torres, and me

@blairajohnson @CoastalProf @melissarmoulton In this example they injected some salt water into the two ping pong balls below the surface:

[Justin Pringle @justinpringle_]

My #fluids class moved onto waves this week. So I thought I’d show them how water moves under waves to help them bridge the gap between the textbook and real life… here I tracked the centroids of the ping pong balls using openCV for python

[Christine M Baker @christinembaker]

@CoastalProf @melissarmoulton Wiffle balls might work if you’re looking for something that is partially submerged. Something like this:

🚨 Coastal Folks: please share widely 🚨

Abstracts for the Young Coastal Scientists and Engineers Conference - Americas (YCSECA23) are DUE in 8 days

DEADLINE is 23 June!

This year's conference (10-12 August 2023) is at University of Wisconsin - Madison

@anardeeek @avanblunk @joewlong @ebgoldstein @KDSplinter @LomonacoPedro @CoastalProf An excellent way to start my postdoc. Looking forward to more good times in NC!

[Christine M Baker @christinembaker]

@BrittRaubenhei1 @SeeingEyeInc Congrats, Britt. Very well-deserved.

[Katherine Anarde @anardeeek]

Come join the Coastal Hazards Lab at NCSU! @bsciaud1 and I are recruiting a PhD to study multi-decadal habitat evolution on human managed barrier islands. Seeking students interested in geospatial analysis, remote sensing, and coastal modeling. DM or email for more info!

[Christine M Baker @christinembaker]

@DrGregDusek Wow— I’m impressed! It even has an nice public awareness component.

[Christine M Baker @christinembaker]

@madmscientist Wow, so beautiful. I hope the deployments went smoothly. Looking forward to hearing more about it!

[UW Civil & Environmental Engineering @uw_cee]

Earlier this week, UW CEE researchers including Ph.D. student Jacob Davis and Professor Jim Thomson deployed technology developed at UW off the coast of Florida to measure ocean waves in the path of Hurricane Ian.

Exciting to hear how @christinembaker found her passion for #coastal and #ocean processes working as an undergraduate tour guide @HinsdaleOSU. She is back as a #phdcandidate @uw_cee using the Large Wave Basin to investigate transient #ripcurrents. @NheriEco #coastaloceanreunion

[Christine M Baker @christinembaker]

@AngieBoysen @PLUNEWS Very excited for you. Congratulations, Angie!
