Please share! We are looking for 2 Postdocs and 2 PhD students for a new Coastal Resilience research project focused on beach and dune ecosystems in California. Reach out with interest or questions, hiring ASAP @USLTER@CERFScience@aslo_org
Since the quake was greater than magnitude 5, #ShakeAlert-powered alerts were delivered to cell phones by @USGS partners @MyShakeApp, @fema Wireless Emergency Alert system, @QuakeAlertUSA and @Android. Did you receive an alert? Share a screenshot if you want.
@SustainFishUW I assigned a traceability assignment where students used tools to determine sustainability of seafood in stores. Surprised to find much of the food labeled "sustainable" without explanation, even upon further digging. "Sustainable" seems like "natural" label. Thoughts?
@CoastalFund They are considered grazers, preferring to eat the kelp that washes ashore. They can clear an entire beach of freshly deposited kelp overnight, but they are opportunistic scavengers eating dead animals including other beach hoppers if the opportunity arises.
Here's a 3,000 word point-by-point scientific rebuttal to #Seaspiracy. Unlike the filmmakers, we dove into the science and data.
Basically, most of their claims come from very old, outdated studies and/or egregious misunderstandings.

@_JChildress Cool! We found they were eating a lot of beach invertebrates at Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz Islands. Only found one poop on the beach at San Miguel.
Our coasts are likely to experience more frequent and intense storms in the future 🌊🌪️, what does this mean for the future of CA kelp forests?
Our new paper predicts extremes may flip systems from kelp dominance to understory algae!

New SBC research paper evaluates trophic cascades in kelp forests using long term monitoring data from Channel Islands National Park @NSF@USLTER@CHISNPS@NOAA @BOEM_DOI
Check out this amazing video on one of our primary study species! It was a great experience to help @KQEDscience pull this together. They captured awesome footage of this unique beach species’ behavior. @LterSbc@USLTER@ucsantabarbara
🗣IT'S HERE! This article is easily one of my proudest accomplishments of my lil career thus far. Who woulda thunk my non-traditional written exam topic would have contributed to this paper - a massive group effort!
