🚨 Latest pub is out related to the REALDUNE/REFLEX experiment! These are the most highly-resolved field measurements of active dune face erosion DURING storm impact, that I am aware of. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20… Credit to whole REALDUNE/REFLEX team and collaborators!

🚨SHARE WIDELY🚨 The abstract submission deadline has been EXTENDED for YCSECA 2025, the best conference for young coastal scientists and engineers!!! It will be held in the beautiful coastal city of Wilmington, NC this summer. ycseca.wordpress.com/2025/04/21/ycs…

CAN YOU FIND DOUG, from Liberty Mutual?! In the annual Halloween party/lecture in Fluid Mechanics at UNCW

I am advertising a two-year postdoc related to remote sensing of chronic coastal floods. The position will be jointly at UNC Chapel Hill in the Global Hydrology Lab and in my research group, the Coastal Hazards Lab at North Carolina State University: lnkd.in/eWaX8W7m

Somebody tell me I'm wrong.... #HurricaneMilton (left) is the Evil twin of 2016 Hurricane Matthew (right)... 🤷

CORRECTION: at 905 am EDT, an update was issued, bumping max sustained winds from 125 mph to 150 mph! Meaning, a 25 hr increase of... wait for it... 90 mph! ALMOST 3x THE RAPID INTENSIFICATION REQUIREMENT! #HurricaneMilton 😳😳😳

#HurricaneMilton went from a 'measly' 991 mbar and 60 mph, to 945 mbar and 125 mph, in just 24 hrs--an increase of +65 mph! 😳😳😳 That's nearly double the requirement for "rapid intensification," which is +35 mph in 24 hrs.

When 2 students from your Fluid Mechanics class are boarding a plane and send you pics of the plane's Pitot tubes, one day after your lecture on the Bernoulli equation, stagnation points, and Pitot tubes! 😇 Celebrate the small teaching wins the most! 🥳

This marks the 1st EVER deployment of a Sentinel tower on a beach (Cedar Key, FL) before a hurricane. HUGE credit to the team at Univ of Florida (& many others across the USA) who put in years of work to make this happen! What a milestone! 👏👏👏 #HurricaneHelene #neer

Installing the continuoisly-scanning 3D LIDAR at Cedar Key, FL yesterday. Ultimately decided to stand down and remove it. This elevation was 20 ft above sea level, which had potential to be under water from surge and waves...wasn't worth the risk. 😔 #HurricaneHelene #NEER

✌️Two sentinel towers loaded and ready for deployment. First stop: Cedar Key, FL

The classic "your route may be affected by Hurricane Warning message" from Google Maps when doing a rapid response coastal deployment #neer #TropicalStormHelene

In Gainesville, FL ready for a massive deployment of wave gauges, lidars, wind towers, and much more tomorrow ahead of #TropicalStormHelene Stay tuned! @NHERIDesignSafe @NHERI_RAPID @NinaStark18
