Hey #APSDFD attendees, get ready to learn about how hidden flow structures in the ocean can aid search-and-rescue operations. Come to Mattia Serra’s talk on Monday morning, H12.00011 https://t.co/54SSxIDtqA

@RossDynamicsLab and @JavierGRocha check out this article in @AGU_Eos. Submerged microplastics are controlled by different dynamics and follow very different routes than particles found floating on the surface. Could LCS play a role here? #NSFAlpha | https://t.co/r04R3xxQao
An unplanned drifting experiment. Container ship loses loads of new shoes off the coast of North Carolina. They ended up on beaches in the Azores (Portugal) and the UK #NSFAlpha @RossDynamicsLab @JavierGRocha | https://t.co/qxxFPnH9KG
I remember seeing plenty of these on the Atlantic coast as well #NSFAlpha
When a balloon escapes a celebration, where does it eventually come back down?
Unfortunately, the answer is, often they land in the ocean.

This map shows the radioactive cloud moving through Europe after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Pretty scary. Source: https://t.co/qrhseno6qp
Nice talk by @SiavashAmeli of @UCBerkeley on accurate mathematical and computational tools for calculating the FTLE spectrum in analytical examples and also the global ocean | excellent online visualization tools! | #NSFAlpha #NSFfunded
Very nice #SIAMDS19 minisymposium on mixing and transport in fluid flows with many #NSFfunded #NSFAlpha participants
Congratulations to Dr. Peter Nolan on a successful Ph.D. defense talk at Virginia Tech today! #DrNolan #EngineeringMechanics #NSFalpha @petersalmanac https://t.co/dDPZt2jmyX
Our experiments studying wind & currents using #drones & dummies, for ocean rescue & clean-up, featured by @NSF. Funded by @NSF_MPS & @NSF_GEO with #NSFalpha team @virginia_tech, @MIT, @WHOI, & @UCBerkeley | @JavierGRocha @thatChrisCloud @VTEngineering @VT_Science @VTCals @BEAMvt
If you fall in the sea, how will rescuers find you?
With orange dummies, math and simulations, #NSFfunded researchers at @virginia_tech are charting the answer, which holds added promise for cleaning fuel spills and protecting crops: https://t.co/nQERfTGGZf

Aug 2018 #NSFALPHA experiments to understand movement of ocean hazards. Applications to oil spills, search & rescue, & harmful algal blooms. #Drones in water & air to track a harmless dye. Funding from @NSF_GEO @NSF_CISE @NSF_ENG @NSF_BIO | @RossDynamicsLab @vtspes #SchmaleLab
Advanced Lagrangian Prediction for Hazards Assessment (ALPHA) project. Objective: identify ocean Lagrangian transport structures to support search-and-rescue & hazard mitigation @NSF_GEO @NSF_MPS @NSF_ENG @BEAMvt #NSFalpha #NSFfunded #drone @SchmaleLab @JavierGRocha @WoolseyAOE
Painting the Atlantic Ocean with a harmless dye. Part of our work funded by the National Science Foundation to understand ocean flows. Applications to tracking oil spills and harmful algal blooms. @NSF_GEO @NSF_BIO @NSF_CISE #nsfalpha #NSFfunded #drone
The Connecticut will be our home for the next week as we try to better understand flows in the ocean. Our cruise will take us south of Martha’s Vineyard. We will be using robots in the air & water. #nsffunded #WHOI #nsfalpha #schmalelab @RossDynamicsLab @NSF_GEO @NSF_ENG @WHOI
Deploying instrumented manikins & drifters in the ocean at pre-determined locations--provided by the #NSFAlpha team & @petersalmanac--to be maximally informative about the effect of currents & wind for search-and-rescue. Sensor package & footage provided by @JavierGRocha. @BEAMvt
Returning home from a successful field campaign southeast of Martha's Vineyard! 20 drifters and 6 manikins were deployed. #NSFAlpha @RossDynamicsLab
Deploying early in the morning to capture drifters released into the ocean. #NSFAlpha
Here's how you launch and recover a drone from a small ship at sea, in this case for environmental sensing related to a search-and-rescue scenario. Featuring @JavierGRocha and #NSFAlpha Team. @VirginiaTechAOE @BEAMvt
We have deployed from Woods Hole, Massachusetts with drifters, manikins, and multirotor drones to conduct experiments south of Matha's Vineyard! #NSFAlpha @SchmaleLab @RossDynamicsLab @WoolseyAOE
Getting the manikins ready for our ocean wind-induced drifting experiments for #NSFAlpha cruise tomorrow @JavierGRocha @SchmaleLab @WoolseyAOE
