Talking about land-sea interactions in west coast environments, aka upwelling regions or EBUS (eastern boundary upwelling systems)

Our new BML faculty colleague Dr Christina Pasparakis introducing her lab to #CMSI - cool science! UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory UC Davis Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute @ChristinaP47

Here’s an opportunity to be part of our work developing the science to save our oceans (and ourselves) - BML has been tracking change for 70 years along the Californian coast, which is critical info for understanding the effects of climate change - thank you for your support!

And we're off! Experiments to help us understand the effects marine heatwaves are having on purple sea urchin populations now underway UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory with @MunstermannMaya @DanielKOkamoto and co. Data and projections to be revealed this spring...

Where did it go? The bar-built marsh on Gaffney Point completely submerged by spring high tide this morning

And it’s back! Just a few hours (half tidal cycle) later

Presume we’re seeing an old salt marsh, elevation 2m below existing marshes (sea level this low occurred a few thousand years ago and the sand spit would have been much further seaward than today)? Seen at king low tide after storms removed sand from lower beach #DoranBeach

This … is upwelling! Over 30 knots off Bodega Bay and likely closer to 40 this afternoon. Oceanographically known as the spring transition, when upwelling starts, more typical of March. This year it’s the second strong NW wind event (other last Tuesday when storm surge -1 foot)

After much planning, and some heroic efforts from our partners UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory (who navigated a truly complex regulatory environment), we deployed our Sofar Ocean Spotter buoy in Richardson Bay!

We are excited to be getting real-time wave data from Richardson Bay. The wave buoy is combined with other non-real-time wave sensors along the shorelines for a comprehensive look at the waves in the bay. It's hard to beat the view from this field site!
