“Coastal Storms” Workshop in St. Pete

Last week members of the UF Geomorph group attended the U. S. Coastal Research Program’s (USCRP) “Coastal Storms” workshop in St. Pete, Florida.  We were treated to a tour of the Florida Institute of Oceanography’s (FIO) research vessel the R/V Weatherbird II and attended many excellent presentations on storm effects in the coastal environment.  The workshop brought together researchers, managers, and coastal practitioners to identify scientific and communication needs about coastal storms and their effects.
