We have had 100 responses to our BIKE THEFT SURVEY and the data are so interesting. Help us get 1000 responses. Had your bike stolen? Live in North America? We want to know how bike theft impacted you! AAG Transport Geography UC Santa Barbara UCSB Geography SPAR Lab @SBBIKELab

ALERT! New Earth + Humans Podcast episode on Equity, Empathy, and Equity in GIScience! With Dr. Dawn Wright + @deepseadawn.bsky.social 🇺🇦 & Goodchild!



Two #mountainbiking #geomorphologists come upon a rock exposure. One says to the rock face, "What cracks you up?". The other says, "I hypothesize that carbonate precipitation and wetting/drying cycles does." Hence, a paper was born. doi.org/10.1016/j.cate… UCSB Geography SGSUP at ASU





"Air flow and sediment transport dynamics on a foredune with contrasting vegetation cover" Read how wind flow dynamics differ between native and invasive vegetation dunes in ESPL (BSG Geomorphology) with Ian J.

Training day with our new Wingtra GenII #UAS with #RDOControls UCSB Geography #SANDLab @GeoHilgy Germán D. Silva 🌎🏳️🌈🇲🇽🇺🇸 Carpinteria salt marsh reserve #UCNRS!!



Having a fun time exploring the fabulous Washington coastline this week, taking grain size samples as I go. Physical samples, sandsnaps (cell phone image with coin for scale), AND a cool new sandcam made by Evan Goldstein and Ryan Mieras to play with 🤩 for instant grainification



Come join us UCSB Geography! We have an info session on graduate school admission (Nov 9).


Curious about #NatureBasedSolutions for coastal #restoration and how to evaluate success? New study on foredune restoration to solve longstanding air quality problem, Oceano Dunes, California. Team effort! UCSB Geography Desert Research Institute @GeoHilgy CA State Parks Oceano Dunes SVRA Pismo State Beach doi.org/10.1002/esp.54…


Quantifying wind dynamics, sand transport, and dust emissions in complex terrain is tough. Recipe = CFD + field verification + teamwork. Creative science solutions to solve air quality problems at Oceano Dunes! doi.org/10.1007/s10652….
