Congratulations to undergraduate researcher and OURI SURF recipient, Hannah King on winning 1st place in the College of Science poster competition at last week's Science Social! 🎉

Last sample event of a SIX (!) year project in collab with the County. Excited for the results of this study! The CSL crew had a beautiful day closing out the field sampling. (Oof - and that dune erosion! Perhaps the next study...stay tuned!). instagram.com/reel/DBhZ6Q4pg…

ES student @dayii_red kicked off her project today with her 1st sampling event on Peanut Island, to evaluate historical and seasonal variability in shoreline changes and sediments with adjacent coral reef health. Thanks for the assist Leanne Hauptman & KO! instagram.com/reel/DBjwnVspz…

$1,000 First Place Winner: Hannah King, Department of Geosciences "Evaluating Tidal Impact on Beach Morphology" Advisor: Tiffany Roberts Briggs, Ph.D. Coastal Studies Lab @ FAU

Congratulations to CSL PhD student Kayla O'Brien on being selected for an FAU ECOS Graduate Student Award for her research on: "Storm-induced microplastic distribution on Florida’s barrier islands”! 🎉

Congratulations to CSL graduate student Sydney Garber on being selected for the Palm Beach International Boat Show, Giving Back grant program for her work on the “Impact of Living Shorelines on Coastal Morphology and Sedimentology”! 🎉

Hot bed of activity in the lab today! Simultaneous analyses for different projects in what looked like effortless coordination. #womeninscience

The American Beaches ASBPA SNP FAU chapter held coastal trivia bingo during happy hour last night. Winner: Leanne Hauptman! 🎉

Congratulations to CSL Environmental Science MS student Halaina Hahn on being selected for an ECOS Graduate Student Award for her research on "Microplastics in Coastal Sediments"! 🎉

Field trip day for the "Coastal & Marine Science" undergraduate class - and lucked out with the timing coinciding with a high king tide (or perigean spring tide, which are higher than normal tides due to the proximity of the moon to Earth)! 🌊😎

CSL crew completed the 1st field excursion for Kayla's FAU ECOS funded research project on storm-induced microplastic deposition. Kayla was a beast with the sledge! 💪 Shout-out and thank you to Leanne Hauptman, Ryan, and Kendal (USF) for the help! instagram.com/share/reel/_m1…

Peanut Island Time! Another beautiful day on the water for Dayan's MS project on coastal restoration and coral reef health. Thanks for the assist Kayla and Holyn, our newest undergraduate recruit and NSF LEARN Scholar! instagram.com/share/reel/BAA…

🚨New paper on the "Morphologic and sedimentological signatures resulting from Hurricane Ian, southwest Florida, USA: Insight into intra-storm bidirectional sediment transport processes" is now available! Full download: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kHBI,3sl3-3…

🚨 Another paper alert! This was part of Jyothi's PhD work comparing sediment properties with outcomes from the 2019 sea turtles nesting season. Check out the pre-print in the Journal of Coastal Research: meridian.allenpress.com/jcr/article/do…

Congratulations to CSL PhD Student @kaylashaeobrien on being selected for the Southeastern Geological Society (SEGS) Student Grant Award for her project on "Storm-induced Microplastic Distribution on Florida’s Barrier Islands"! 🎉 instagram.com/reel/DE0lQmPpG…

CSL crew hangout tonight - good times, good laughs!

CSL-ASBPA FAU student chapter beach cleanup sponsored by 4Ocean was a great success today! Huge shout out to Halaina for organizing! Thanks to all who came! ASBPA SNP American Beaches instagram.com/reel/DE-SKYJpU…
