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!”
Fidalgo Shoreline Academy (Sat. 14 May, 2016 9:00 am - 3:30 pm)
This year the Academy is pleased to have well known photographer and environmentalist Chris Jordan as our Keynote Speaker. Chris' work includes documenting the tragedies of Midway Island's starving albatrosses who mistake our floating plastic for food. Chris’ powerful photographic artworks tell a story using data and common objects to create amazing images.
Following the keynote, choose from a variety of interesting programs and interpretive walks on the Salish Sea marine environment and culture. Teachers - free continuing education clock hours will be available.
Registration opens March 14th.
