The Rolling Stones: Rock Band or Grains on a Beach? - Dr. Diane Foster 

This talk will explore the physical mechanisms responsible for our perpetually changing beaches. Worldwide, our coastal communities and ecosystems are increasingly threatened by nutrients, pathogens, and other contaminants associated with a range of geophysical and human pressures.
From seasonal beach profiles to erosion from extreme storms to sand grains, we will consider how individual sand grains and our collective beaches respond to our changing ocean dynamics. Please come with your own questions about how these physical processes may impact the human and ecosystem health in our nearshore communities.
