On October 24th, 2015, Pete Adams attended “SlingFest: Sediment from Mountains to Seas – A Celebration of Research and Service in Honour of Rudy L. Slingerland” at Penn State University. Adams’s talk compared UF Geomorphology’s recent work on Matanzas Inlet in Florida to a study by Slingerland (1983) in which he quantified correlations of inlet […]
During Oct. 18-20, Pete Adams attended a NAGT workshop organized by SERC (Science Education Resource Center) at Carleton College, which brought together approximately 20 faculty members from a range of universities (and representatives from Mathworks) to discuss how we implement MATLAB in our undergraduate and graduate programs. The workshop assembled numerous valuable resources and stimulated some […]
In a recent news feature — “Sea-level Rise Hits Home at NASA” — NASA addresses the sustainability of their coastal facilities with the ever increasing threat from sea-level rise. Several storms in the last decade near Cape Canaveral, FL have already caused $100 million worth of damage to Kennedy Space Center. Research by Drs. Peter […]

Recent M.S. graduate, Kat Wilson was the lead author on a study resulting from her M.S. work at the UF Geomorph lab, in collaboration with our colleagues at the USGS in St. Pete. In the paper, we present an updated Baysian model that incorporates the frequency and magnitude of natural and anthropogenic processes to successfully hindcast shoreline change and […]

On March 14, 2015, the UF Geomorph group participated in the UF Geological Sciences Department’s outreach event “Can You Dig It?” held at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville. Our display showed the processes operating at tidal inlets and how water and sediment are exchanged between the open ocean and the back barrier […]
Approximately 6 months after completing a 5-year, monthly study of beach morphologic change at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, our group conducted a follow up survey to examine notable changes in the 2nd half of 2014. Participants included MS student Christian Provancha, PhD student Juan Paniagua, and PI Pete Adams. A YouTube movie of our GPS […]
