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!”
Lecture Series: Recent NE Pacific Warming, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Blob (Fri. 12 Feb, 2016 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm)
“Recent NE Pacific Warming, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Blob” Nick Bond, Ph. D Climatologist and Senior Research Scientist University of Washington A huge area of abnormally warm water has formed along the Pacific coast. Coined “The Blob” by Dr. Bond, this phenomenon may be disrupting marine food webs and affecting our local weather as well as weather events across the U.S.
