I had an absolute blast severing as a Graduate Student Mentor for NASA's Student Airborne Research Program this past summer, and now applications are open for both mentors and undergrad student participants for summer 2025!

Bedforms? If it weren't for the jet engine I'd think I was looking at sand :)

The forerunners are arriving at Montara State Beach. About a 23 second period for this set of waves. Mavericks should be cranking this afternoon! #CAwx #waves

Did you know we can see the fingerprints of rip currents from space? Well, we can now! Stop by our #AGU24 poster Monday morning to hear about the dataset we created using six years of PlanetScope imagery, which includes over 2,000 #CoastSat mapped images from three sites, and see what we learned :)

For those prepping Earth Science courses (or anybody who likes geology) --please check out my site www.geologypics.com to view and/or download Earth Sci images for free --all at resolutions good for power point. Site offers 5000+ images, all searchable. Here are three recent uploads.

If anyone knows beaches that have rip current embayment structures as large as they can get in Monterey Bay let me know, I am on the hunt!
