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: Restoration of the Elwha River and its Estuary (Fri. 8 Apr, 2016 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm)
“Restoration of the Elwha River and its Estuary”
Ian Miller, Ph. D. Coastal Hazards Specialist Peninsula College, Port Angeles, WA
Two dams have recently been removed from the Elwha River and it again flows free. Dr. Miller and other scientists are monitoring the unrestricted river and the resultant ecological changes within the river basin and its estuary.
