training with our new remote-controlled boat!

Sarah GiddingsUncategorized

We completed training on our new remote-controlled boat, an echoboat 160 from SeaFloor Systems! This tool will be outfitted with a fast sampling CTD connected to an autonomous winch system for rapid vertical profiles of salinity and temperature throughout the water column, an ADCP to measure currents throughout the water column, and an echo sounder to measure the bottom bathymetry. … Read More

new postdoc position: real-time coastal modeling!

Sarah GiddingsUncategorized

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), UCSD, is looking for a postdoctoral scholar to work on a project aiming to improve our understanding and develop predictions of coastal water quality. The postdoctoral scholar will be responsible for building upon an existing realistic regional numerical model to help transition the model into a predictive tool. A strong background in oceanography is … Read More

undergraduate research opportunity in oceanographic particle tracking visualization tool development!!

Sarah GiddingsUncategorized

As part of an NSF CAREER award, the Giddings lab is looking for a few undergraduate researchers to help further develop an existing oceanographic particle tracking visualization tool. Strong coding experience is necessary, particularly with Java as that is the current language for the tool. Much more information about the project goals and opportunity are here. For those interested in … Read More

new postdoctoral scholar, Dr. Lemagie!

Sarah GiddingsUncategorized

Dr. Emily Lemagie started with the lab in December 2020. She will be working on an NSF CAREER award investigating the relative role of oceanic forcing on estuarine exchange flow. Her background and expertise in estuarine science, river plume dynamics, inner-shelf dynamics, and science communication is an excellent fit for this project. She completed her PhD in Physical Oceanography at … Read More

most Seal Beach instrumentation recovered!

Sarah Giddingsnews

finishing up at sunset due to the late low tides!

Most of our instruments in the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge and Huntington Harbor were successfully recovered! A few instruments remain to continue our study to assess marsh response to human alterations. This project is in collaboration with the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge, Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, and Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest.

new postdoctoral scholar, Dr. Brasseale!

Sarah GiddingsUncategorized

Dr. Elizabeth Brasseale joined our lab in late September 2020. She will be working on a US Coastal Research Program (USCRP) project examining pollution transport including improving predictions in the Southern California region and beyond. She recently finished her PhD at the University of Washington working with Parker MacCready on estuarine-shelf interactions and larval transport of marine invasive species in … Read More
