The CBS story about our research at NASA – Kennedy Space Center aired on CBS Saturday Morning news on Dec. 6, 2014. In the 2.5 minute segment, Pete Adams and John Jaeger discuss the research that the UF Geomorphology team has been conducting, with USGS colleagues, to quantify beach morphologic change along the Kennedy Space Center […]
On November 2-7, 2014, PhD student Juan Felipe Paniagua participated in the Sediment Experimentalist European Workshop, held at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. The workshop was focused on discussing recent advances in experimental work, with an emphasis on data management and sharing. Particularly interesting was the community experiment in which participants used the Eurotank to reproduce two Gilbert-type […]
On Friday, Aug. 22, Pete Adams and John Jaeger (Co-PIs) on the Cape Canaveral Shoreline Change project traveled to NASA-Kennedy Space Center to take part in a story by CBS News on the launch infrastructure threatened by dune erosion and shoreline retreat. The piece has yet to air, but will likely be broadcast when the next […]

From August 12 to 21 PhD student Juan Felipe Paniagua Arroyave participated in the Summer Institute in Earth-surface Dynamics at the NSF-funded National Center of Earth-surface Dynamics. The topic for this year’s institute was ‘Complexity and predictability in depositional systems’, and consisted of a series of lectures, hands-on demonstrations and a community experiment in one of the delta tanks […]
On Friday, June 20, 2014, Kat Wilson successfully presented her MS thesis “Probablistic Forecasting of Morphodynamic Response to High-Wave Events At Fire Island, New York” to a standing-room-only Room 265. We’ll miss you Kat and best of luck in your new job with the USGS in St. Pete.
On Friday, May 23rd, 2014, a manuscript was published outlining a multi-component modeling system to understand storm impacts on the U.S. Pacific coast. The author list includes a diverse group of coastal researchers from the USGS, Deltares (NL), Oregon State, and the University of Florida (Geomorph group).
