Students and researchers gathered in Fitts-Woolard Hall’s Incubator Lab this week to build a new round of sensors for @sunny_day_flood, with a goal of measuring, modeling and understanding the impacts of chronic shallow flooding in coastal North Carolina communities.

#Instagrain as demonstrated by @ebgoldstein. This custom-built prototype was able to perform image-based grain size distribution analysis within seconds. I'm stoked on the potential applications to increase knowledge about sediment transport dynamics 🌊⛱️ #geomorphology #obx

New pub from the @sunny_day_flood team! Our new sensors detected water on the road 24x in 5 months in coastal NC - flooding is happening more often than common proxies (e.g., NOAA HTF counts) suggest b/c we capture the impacts of rain (1/4 of our events were rain + tide).

@EaDARLab A new study on the US Atlantic coast shows that different land covers (from developed areas to wetlands) are losing elevation, with rates up to 3 mm per year @Leonardgeol @shirzaei @chandraphyctc @theswampboss nature.com/articles/s4146…
