Science (photo shoot) in action. #SANDLab does beaches @ucsantabarbara with @topomaddie @nitzanswet @UCSBgeog

@deepseadawn Yes! I wholeheartedly agree! There is only one solution…

for @ij_walker 😉

Recent storm impacts on our Santa Barbara beaches. Impressive efforts underway to deliver sediment from upland retention basins. Unfortunately, these pics portend a future scenario the state asks us to prepare for... +3.5' of sea-level rise by 2050 @UCSBgeog @MSI_UCSB

Quantifying wind dynamics, sand transport, and dust emissions in complex terrain is tough. Recipe = CFD + field verification + teamwork. Creative science solutions to solve air quality problems at Oceano Dunes! doi.org/10.1007/s10652…. @DRIScience @UCSBgeog @ODSVRA_PSB @GeoHilgy

Curious about #NatureBasedSolutions for coastal #restoration and how to evaluate success? New study on foredune restoration to solve longstanding air quality problem, Oceano Dunes, California. Team effort! @UCSBgeog @DRIScience @GeoHilgy @ODSVRA_PSB doi.org/10.1002/esp.54…

Come join us @UCSBgeog! We have an info session on graduate school admission (Nov 9).

@envirogeography Is a tweet a learning outcome? Whatever… good times and lots of learning to be had at #oceano #dunes today for our GEOG288 #coastal geomorph class!@UCSBgeog @envirogeography

Great time exploring Oceano Dunes as part of my coastal geomorphology class with @ij_walker and the #UCSB_SANDLab. Lots of learning about dune restoration and other coastal processes in action.

@Jon_Warrick Sure do @Jon_Warrick. Notable impacts on beach morphology and sed budgets, esp if #aeolian processes are prevalent doi.org/10.1029/2019JF… doi.org/10.1016/j.geom… @UCSBgeog

@tomgillpredicts Thanks for the shout @tomgillpredicts @GeoHilgy @UCSBgeog

@TrisalynNelson Oh my. Time to step away from the screens @TrisalynNelson

@ij_walker Do you mean a revise ‘n resubmit?

Never underestimate the power of #RnR. Mahalo #Maui!

Farewell to a true trail blazer. RIP Uhuru.

@GeoHilgy @RIEGL @ember_waters @nitzanswet @UCSBgeog Thanks team!
