With the predictions of sea level rise and increased storminess, coastal managers are looking for ways to better predict the response of estuaries in the future, to plan preemptive dredging events, and to adopt coastal resiliency programs to reduce damage. USC Sea Grant funded two studies to assess the impact of extreme storm and wave events and the interaction of waves, currents and sediment movement in different types of Southern California estuaries. The goal is to make predictions about how estuaries will respond to future conditions to assist management efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  \n  \n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <h3><b>Key Results<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estuaries that have structures (jetties, groins, etc.) tended to remain open and experience less sediment accretion and less exacerbated high water levels than estuaries without structures (which also tend to have more marsh habitat).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Structures enhanced erosion of the adjacent beaches\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Single storm events lasting 1-2 days can result in large-scale sediment changes and alter lagoon circulation for weeks <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Project Impacts &amp; Application:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giddings served as a scientific advisor for the Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project and the group intends to use data resulting from this project in a new case study of Los Pe\u00f1asquitos Lagoon<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Principal Investigators:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sarah N Giddings, Ph.D., University of California, San Diego,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Geno Pawlak, Ph.D., University of California, San Diego<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Funding: <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NOAA, 2016-2018<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Additional Info and Publications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harvey, M.E., <strong>Giddings, S.N., Pawlak, G. <\/strong><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">et al.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hydrodynamic Variability of an Intermittently Closed Estuary over Interannual, Seasonal, Fortnightly, and Tidal Timescales. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estuaries and Coasts<\/span><\/i> <b>46<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 84\u2013108 (2023). <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s12237-021-01014-0\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s12237-021-01014-0<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"cta-link\" href=\"\/uscseagrant\/publications-database\/\">Access our Publications Database to view publications from this project or other related topics<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-content-detail.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2898","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
