We attempted our first full echoboat bathymetry survey 16 Dec 2024, but it was pretty unsuccessful. Unlike during the training, the boat props kept getting floating debris entrained and shutting off. Presumably this was because the survey was at high tide and extra loose marsh plants, seagrass etc. was floating into the channel. We had to rescue the boat and … Read More
new postdoc position: coastal hydro-morphodynamic interactions!
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
Dr. Giddings did a hands-on demonstration at the Kendall Frost Mission Bay Marsh Reserve Love Your Wetlands Day to a broad audience. The event included a variety of talks, booths, and opportunities to get out on the water and help clean up the wetlands. There were 1020 attendees and 208 people picked up 89 kg of trash on the guided … 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
