How mangrove forests protect coastal cities

An interesting piece. I agree with the general concept. In reality, I think we have a broad ecosystem of basic and applied researchers including people who apply and communicate knowledge to the world -- to industry, policy and more. I think we need all, especially connectors.

Mars or Moonstone Beach? This photo of a Martian-like surface was taken right here on Earth -- in RI. This gravel-rich wind-blown overwash plain expanded northward as a result of overwash during the last major storm #Elliott. #FieldworkFriday #nofilter URI Graduate School of Oceanography The Weather Channel

A great goal for 2023!

A frigid coast today with blowing "sea smoke", shoreline ice chucks and a frozen swash foam. Despite the sun... no bathers. CRC URI URI Graduate School of Oceanography

Look what we found returning from a #turtle 🐢 nesting session !! A reminder fishes and marine turtles do not celebrate Vals Day.. We need to interact and act more responsibly towards environmental protection. #SaveourOcean #SDGs #BetheChange #PlasticPunch 🌊💙🅿️🥊

Indonesia has an incredibly diverse and dynamic coast and ocean and is home to warm and talented people. It is always a pleasure to welcome Indonesian colleagues to URI to explore new potential collaborations and reflect on our many years of cooperation. CRC URI URI Graduate School of Oceanography

Outside my airplane window over the North Sea, an offshore windfarm is dwarfed by the immense blue seascape. Powering homes and businesses these remote structures coexist with and may compliment other sectors. #OceanMultiUse Looking forward to our MULTI-FRAME meeting. CRC URI

Initial microplastic results are in from #theoceanrace! And microplastics are found in all the samples, with highest values near the coasts. Thanks to the hard work of my super student @victoria_fulfer and our great partners NationalOceanographyCentre and of course, The Ocean Race. More..

Happy to be in Dubrovnik for the 36th International Meeting of Sedimentology. It's always great to hear interesting science and meet with colleagues.

New paper on marine microplastics that highlights estuarine trapping in sediments! Check it out. Great work @victoria_fulfer from URI Graduate School of Oceanography CRC URI

"We need #SystemsThinking to address coastal sustainable development" Melanie Austen gives the plenary at the 4th #ICWPS and highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaborations and working with communities to manage and monitor coastal resources.

We had so much fun (and learning) during our 3-day workshop in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines. Titled "Workshop on Mapping Coastal Habitats of the Philippines Using Satellite Imagery USAID Fish Right", the program included sharing of efforts, remote sensing theory, ...

Glad to see the coastal plastic problem is getting the attention it really deserves.

Excellent reporting by WPRI 12's Kate Wilkinson on URI's @victoria_fulfer, J.P. Walsh, and Jaime M. Ross, Ph.D.'s groundbreaking #microplastics research. Watch the full segment here: 🔗➡️ wpri.com/target-12/rese…

Honored to have the story shared

Glad to be working with Emi and others on this important collaboration.

We were honored to have Viola Davis deliver a stirring keynote address at the URI Arts & Sciences #commencement. To a capacity crowd and several standing ovations, Davis shared a powerful message of transformation, healing, and love. Davis received an honorary Doctor of Letters from URI.
