Yes, NC 12 is open and passable. BUT this is NOT a day to be out on the roads. Standing rainwater, blowing sand and strong winds can be expected anywhere you go today. High tide is coming up in another 90 minutes or so. If you must drive today, do it with EXTREME CAUTION.

Save the date!!! CSDMS Annual Meeting "CSDMS 2024: Coastlines, critical zones, and cascading hazards: modeling dynamic interfaces from deep time to human time" hosted by Montclair State University, Montclair, NJ, May 14-16, 2024. Registration will open in January!

Come join the Coastal Hazards Lab at NCSU! Multi-year research associate for two coastal monitoring programs: jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/189747 One-year (possibility of extension) postdoc related to modeling of chronic coastal flooding: jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/186796

WAHOOOOO! All the cool kids are at NCSU :)

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.

Here's what has changed regarding Tropical Cyclone #Ophelia as of this afternoon. More details can be found in our latest briefing: weather.gov/media/ilm/Late… Next update around 6:30pm

Runup reached the dune toe earlier on Masonboro...and some roadway flooding at our Sunny Day Flooding Project sensors across the state (Carolina Beach, Beaufort, Down East so far...). You can check out images from flood sensors at go.ncsu.edu/sunny

If coastal flooding is expected, be prepared. Elevate your belongings off the ground, move your car to higher ground, and have an evacuation plan. weather.gov/safety/flood

I am recruiting Masters and PhD students to the Texas A&M University Surface Processes Group for Fall 2024! Available projects on Earth and Mars rivers and deltas, and material transport. Apply by Jan 1 TAMU Geography, reach out with questions. Please share widely✌️

Calling all prospective students interested in coastal hydro- and morpho-dynamics: Go work with Christine at Stanford! She does awesome science and is a fabulous mentor!!!! (Wish she could stay with us at NCSU for forever…but alas.)

Congrats to CCEE Ph.D. student Thomas Thelen, who was awarded the 2023 Megan Cornog Memorial Highway Safety Scholarship from UNC HSRC! loom.ly/Y8pDyOM

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!

Let’s go Caroline!!!

Congrats Thomas Thelen on his fellowship! Great spotlight. Also, come to his talk at AGU: Friday, 4:15 PM.

🚨 NEW PUB ALERT 🚨 One of the most detailed field campaigns of continuous hydro-morphodynamic measurements of dune erosion during a storm event. Thanks to Katherine Anarde for roping me in! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Wahoooo Shan!!!!

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.

I am advertising a two-year postdoc related to remote sensing of chronic coastal floods. The position will be jointly at UNC Chapel Hill in the Global Hydrology Lab and in my research group, the Coastal Hazards Lab at North Carolina State University: lnkd.in/eWaX8W7m
