Students and researchers gathered in Fitts-Woolard Hall’s Incubator Lab this week to build a new round of sensors for Sunny Day Flooding Project, with a goal of measuring, modeling and understanding the impacts of chronic shallow flooding in coastal North Carolina communities.

#IRESNL23 is off to the races! Students from around the United States and throughout the Netherlands are gathering in Delft to talk about coastal management, modeling, and mud. and sand :-) Great opening dinner, and a lovely first day. Stay tuned!

It’s project time at #IRESNL23 . Last week, experienced modelers from Deltares presented their work to students, for inspiration. Today, students are presenting their project prospectuses for feedback before the sprint to finish their projects.

Coastal flooding at high tide tonight in Carolina Beach, NC. Roads were turned into rivers and the ground was fully submerged. Hard to see at night but saltwater is everywhere. Lee Haywood NWS Wilmington, NC Scotty Powell Visit Carolina Beach, NC

After an incredibly hard push by Christine M Baker Dr. Matt Ware Thomas Thelen, with support from Joe Long, UNCW N.C. Coastal Reserve UNCW_CMS, the stereo cams are up! Get ready for a year of MasonBEAST: Beach Evolution Assessment using Stereo Technology on Masonboro Island. So tired, so proud.

Today was the last field trip of the semester with my coastal grad class. So thankful for the many people (some not pictured) who took time to teach us about the NC coast, its vibrant communities, and their many challenges! Such a treasure to live, learn, and work among y’all!

CCEE's Katherine Anarde received funding to study chronic flood risk in underserved coastal communities in NC & HI. The project will incorporate community workshops, measurements of flooding/flood models to identify key vulnerabilities/impacts. loom.ly/FT54G4o 📷: NOAA

The Washington Post Ray Whitehouse Niko Kommenda Emily Wright Monica Ulmanu We also were drawn to tell this story in this way, in part, due to the unique research being done by Katherine Anarde Dr. Miyuki Hino and other colleagues to document the land-based drivers of chronic floods. Check out their work at Sunny Day Flooding Project: tarheels.live/sunny/

Incredible reporting by WaPo on flooding from sea-level rise in Carolina Beach. Tides, wind, and rain atop higher seas are flooding low-lying communities, and it’s happening more than we know.

Want to do a deeper dive on what's driving floods in Carolina Beach? Check out this preprint from the Sunny Day Flooding Project team to see how tides, wind, and rain atop SLR compound to exacerbate flooding. The short version: wind matters more than you might think doi.org/10.31223/X5PT2N

My first lead-author paper “Wind and rain compound with tides to cause frequent and unexpected coastal floods” is live! Check out the link below to see how Sunny Day Flooding Project team is measuring and modeling the different drivers of chronic coastal flooding: doi.org/10.1016/j.watr…
