The Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), UCSD, is looking for a postdoctoral scholar to work on a project aiming to improve our observations and predictions of nearshore processes including coastal flooding, coastal morphological evolution, and estuary inlet closure. The postdoctoral scholar will be responsible for helping collect and analyze observations as part of a larger group effort. This includes observational … Read More
training with our new remote-controlled boat!
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!
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!!
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
Fieldwork in the Pajaro Lagoon, Monterey, CA
At the end of September, lab members Lauren Kim and Alex Simpson assisted in some instrument deployment and data collection at the Pajaro Lagoon in Monterey, CA, with Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) collaborators, Dr. Mara Orescanin and her students, Kierstin Pastrana and John Plant. The team installed a water logger with real-time monitoring in the nearby slough system, and CTD … Read More
New postdoc position in ocean forcing of estuarine exchange!
Postdoc in oceanic forcing of estuarine exchange at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD The Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) Center for Coastal Studies, UCSD, is looking for a postdoctoral scholar to work on an NSF-funded project aiming to improve our understanding of the importance of remote oceanic forcing on estuarine exchange flow across estuarine parameter space. The postdoctoral scholar will be responsible … Read More
postdoc position open!
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) Center for Coastal Studies, UCSD, is looking for a postdoctoral scholar to work on an NSF-funded project aiming to improve our understanding of the fate of small river plumes in the surfzone. This work is motivated by the need to improve our understanding of transport of environmental constituents ranging from larvae to pollution in … Read More
new postdoctoral scholar, Dr. Lemagie!
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
new postdoctoral scholar, Dr. Brasseale!
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
