RT @matthew_conlin: When dunes erode during a storm, does the dune toe move up or down? Our new work shows the height and duration of total…

We’ve been exploring the use of holography to measure the size and vertical distribution of sands as they move by wind. Check out our new paper on this ( which shows the ability to measure temporal changes of saltating sediment size on a beach. @ArmyERDC

@ChristinaToms @KerryleeRogers_ Can send some slides on field measurements and geomorph modeling of beach/tundra retreat there. In conjunction with a few groups, the community is currently exploring potential NNBF options suitable for cold regions to limit impacts from chronic erosion along their northern coast

@ChristinaToms It’s the common term we would use for features like that on the Boston Harbor islands, but you see the terminology pop up elsewhere in the literature too.

@ChristinaToms @KerryleeRogers_ Oddly enough I have a project there now

@ChristinaToms Salient

Nice day for getting sensors installed in the surf zone for storm season as part of #DUNEXOBX @ArmyERDC

@DrKingotheBeach @USACEHQ @DrKingotheBeach although the Wave Information Studies website is currently down, most of the WIS data for the US is actually accessible on a public thredds server, including for the Great Lakes. Let me know if you have trouble accessing it.

Interested in coastal sediment transport research? One year funded post-Masters or post-doc position available at the ERDC Field Research Facility (Duck, NC) to experiment with using holographic cameras to measure sand transport by wind and/or waves.

For those interested in applied research on nearshore processes, the ERDC Field Research Facility located on the Outer Banks, NC has a full-time job opening to assist with numerical modeling of nearshore-beach-dune morphodynamics. Come work with us!

@RobertCMahon @BendyScientist We have that same Article couch in grey. It's held up well for the last few years and is very much dog approved

Looking inside of coastal foredunes with @coastalgeology @LittoralLiz @Drewbydoowhite on the Outer Banks to understand how different coastal management strategies contribute to the trapping of wind blown sand and limit storm impacts

@ScientistBriana @ravenscimaven I work at a federal research facility dedicated to coastal hazards work. Ping me if you want to chat about opportunities.

Got the terrestrial lidar out at #DuckFRF to capture aeolian sediment transport associated with the passing remnants of Hurricane Zeta. Working towards validating new high frequency remote observations (saltation height, wind fields) with conventional in-situ sensors. #ArmyERDC

@DerekWTJackson1 We've also gotten super fast scanning conventional lidars to map the saltation layer/streamers. It works quite well. Can share more details if you are ever interested

@DerekWTJackson1 Still testing what we can get out of this new system, but it scans along a 15 degree cone giving info at numerous horizontal locations and vertical bins. Seems to give reasonable data within a few meters of the bed. Working on validating obs against in-situ sensors this Fall
