Greetings from Florianópolis, where scientists from around the world have started gathering for the first annual meeting of IGCP Project 725! Save travels to all arriving over the next 36 hours, and looking forward to seeing you at the opening reception tomorrow evening.

If you're at the conference hotel & looking for something to do before our evening opening, we recommend a walk north, following from one stunning pocket beach to the next. Or, follow the main road in the hotel up the hill to this wonderful overlook toward the mainland.

And special thanks to all of our poster presenters, who kicked off with lightening talks highlighting their posters, followed by a two hour poster session from which the hotel staff had to kick us out.

A small selection of photos from our first half day of field trip on the beach and chenier plain at Tijucas.

In a surprise, lunch today turned into an absolute meatfest at the local Tijucas churrascaria. Everyone is now asleep on the bus. Side note: IGCP 725 co-organizer Christopher Hein once got brutally kicked out of that same restaurant for showing up too muddy from field work.

Thank you Christopher Hein for leading the first day of field trip of Forecasting Coastal Change: From Cores to Code meeting in Brazil, on the development of strain plains and cheniers of Tijucas and Pinheira

Field Trip Day #1 is in the bag! We're heading home after a great afternoon in the Pinheira Strandplain and evening in Guarda, where Christopher Hein gladly started the handoff of field trip leadership to Guilherme. Tomorrow: headland bypassing!

The second half of the day had us chasing sand along its counter clockwise path across and around the headlands of northern Ilha de Santa Catarina. Thanks to Guilherme for leading an outstanding day of dunes, beaches, and spits.

It's a crossover here on Day #3 of the IGCP 725 Florianópolis field trip, with Mike Kinsela introducing the group to #CoastSnap (coastsnap.com) with a site overlooking Armacao Beach. cc: Mitchell Harley.

Final day of the field trip and meeting! Beautiful vistas, eroding beaches, and some spectacular dunefields. Oh, and a few monkeys along the way.

Unfathomable damage in Acapulco as what appears to be contents of entire floors blown out of high rise buildings from cat 5 Otis. Winds always higher in skyscrapers so it’s possible the damage factor was 1000 times higher than what would occur from 75mph cat 1.

The Simon Fraser University Coastal Hazards Lab does Forecasting Coastal Change: From Cores to Code Brazil! Great to science with so many old and new friends Christopher Hein PD Dr. Michaela Spiske Andy Green Annie Lau Geomorphology and Active tectonics Research Lab

.Forecasting Coastal Change: From Cores to Code’s kickoff meeting in Brazil is a wrap! So grateful to the many people who helped make it a success. Looking forward to organizing next year’s meeting in the Philippines with Christopher Hein and Geomorphology and Active tectonics Research Lab! #therebetterbemonkeys

New paper from Jędrzej Majewski and our crew where sediment analysis shows that the Palu-Donggala tsunami was destructive within the initial 100 m but rapidly diminished in intensity beyond. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Academia, where money is always a problem no matter how many titles and awards you have😅

Today's #tsunami in #Japan, triggered by an M7.5 earthquake, recorded a coastal height of 1.2 m in Toyama and 0.6 m in Sado. Potential tsunami #runup may reach 4-5 m. This event stands as one of Japan's largest tsunamis since the 2011 giant tsunami.

A M7.5 earthquake struck western Japan today, collapsing buildings & triggering a tsunami. Most large earthquakes occur with no warning, but this fault has been noisy for over 3 years: an evolving swarms and a M6.2 in May. And now a M7.5! Read more on our blog - link in my bio.

#EarthquakeReport #TsunamiReport for M 7.5 #Earthquake along the Noto Peninsula, #Japan generated #Tsunami observed at tide gages and by video observers USGS Earthquakes ground failure models suggest induced liquefaction and triggered landslides report here: earthjay.com/?p=11735

Why do large earthquakes occur along Japan's western coast, even though the subduction zones are to the east? In our latest post, we explore the tectonics to understand damaging events like the January 1 M7.5 below the Noto Peninsula. Read more on our blog - link in my bio.

Three researchers from Simon Fraser University have been selected as delegates for Canadian Science Policy Centre (CSPC)'s 2024 Science Meets Parliament program in Ottawa! Congratulations to Theresa Pauly, Jessica Pilarczyk and Lyana Patrick 🎉 sciencepolicy.ca/programs/scien…
