Projecting Future Scenarios for Fidalgo Bay (All day)
Projecting Future Scenarios for Fidalgo Bay - Modeling Water Circulation and Coastal Changes
Dr. Eric Grossman, Research Geologist, U.S. Geological Survey
“Dr. Grossman will discuss how the US Geological Survey is using powerful 3D computer modeling to examine coastal processes and inform ecosystem restoration and hazard mitigation in the Salish Sea. How might climate change, sea level rise and land use influence coastal communities, ecosystem restoration outcomes, and Fidalgo Bay? Learn how USGS is constructing a 3D hydrodynamic model of Fidalgo Bay as part of a larger Salish Sea model to study these questions. Citizen science can help USGS and its partners improve these models through research and monitoring – find out how you can get involved as a volunteer!”
Trail Tales Volunteer Meeting (Wed. 19 Aug, 2015 10:00 am - 1:00 pm)
This meeting at Padilla Bay has two goals. The first part of the meeting, from 10-noon, will be an introduction to the plants of Padilla Bay's Upland Trail led by plant experts Mary Rose from our Trail Tales program and Sharon Riggs of Padilla Bay. They will show us the opportunites for future interpretive programs on the Upland Trail and share resource materials.
Then from noon-1:00, over lunch (bring your own please!,) we will finalize plans for the National Estuaries Day Passport Stations planned for Fidalgo Bay Day.
Hope to see you all there.
