What's new in the group?
- Here is a wonderful article by Anna Wargula, a student in our recent Friday Harbor Summer School "Estuarine and Coastal Fluid Dynamics," on the joys of doing recearch from a ship in Admiralty Inlet.
- Dr. MacCready joins the new Encyclopedia of Puget Sound as a member of the Editorial Board, handling all contributions on the Sound physical system, from tides and currents to geology and weather, October 2012.
- New website for the PNWTOX Modeling effort
- New website for the UW Coastal Modeling Group
- Congratulations to Dr. Sally Warner who successfully completed her PhD in September 2012. Sally will be joining Jim Moum's group at OSU for a postdoc, after traveling the world for 6 months with the help of a Bonderman Fellowship. Sally also received First Place for Best Graduate Student Talk at the Nov. 2011 CERF meeting. We'll miss you Sally!
- Congratulations to Dr. Sarah Giddings who recently received a highly-competetive NSF postdoctoral fellowship to continue work in our group. She will be studying the physics controlling the exchange of water between estuarine and coastal systems, with a focus on the remarkable flow reversal events that occur when Columbia River plume water reaches to the mouth of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
- Here is a video of Dr. MacCready giving a seminar at NCAR in Boulder, CO, 10/16/2012, "An overview of the physics of estuarine circulation, with biogeochemical implications."
