Each winter, an unknown amount of water from mountain snow vanishes straight into thin air, never making it to the Colorado River. The Sublimation of Snow (SOS) Project, an intensive study conducted by Dr. Jessica Lundquist and colleagues at the University of Washington College of Engineering, NSF NCAR Earth Observing Laboratory Aspen Global Change Institute, and Aspen Global Change Institute and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is on the hunt for the missing water!

Cyclone can be predicted 72hrs before, In 72hrs can it be defuse or been prevented? minimize the impact, a tropical cyclone is a rotating storm originating over a tropical ocean basin that has a low pressure center (the eye). The diameter of a tropical cyclone is typically 124 to 311 miles (200 to 500 km), but can be as large as 621 miles (1,000 km). how much research and development been done?

Coastal Geomorphologist specialising in Aeolian Processes and Coastal Dunes | Enthusiastic about Science Communication
Predicting the impacts of rising sea levels on sandy coasts, a SciPod featuring the work by Robin Davidson-Arnott and Bernard O. Bauer (2021), Controls on the geomorphic response of beach-dune systems to water level rise. A lot of great points to consider, including the key message on the magnitude of sand transfers between the nearshore, beach, and dunes, compared to the slow rate of rising sea levels. Worth watching the video and reading the article. https://lnkd.in/dNs2UNB2

As you can see by our sweatshirts, it's getting cold on the water! But what about below the surface? As water temperatures drop, warm-water species like striped bass are leaving the area, while other species, like crabs, are settling in to overwinter. Male blue crabs rest on the bottom of the riverbed in a blanket of sediment. Sounds pretty cozy, doesn't it? Results from this week's lower tidal Patapsco bacteria samples are listed below. Check out https://lnkd.in/eQxfYVv to see data on all of the stations monitored throughout Baltimore's watersheds. Jones Falls Outlet: 411 MPN/100 mL 🔴 Domino Sugar: 173 MPN/100 mL 🔴 Canton Waterfront Park: 146 MPN/100 mL 🔴 Baltimore Rowing Center: 20 MPN/100 mL ✅ Patapsco River outlet into mainstem: 132 MPN/100 mL 🔴 Ferry Bar Park: 98 MPN/100 mL ✅ Inner Harbor Dragon Boats: 72 MPN/100 mL ✅ Maryland Science Center: 20 MPN/100 mL ✅ MPN stands for Most Probable Number and is a statistical method used to estimate bacteria levels present in water. According to the state of Maryland, it's unsafe to come into contact with surface waters with enterococcus levels greater than 130 MPN/100 mL.
