As we walked along the beach, waves lapping at our feet, images of the shoreline several weeks back flashed across my mind. Instead of a uniform landscape of sand, boulders rose up and the original \u201cScripps Institute of Oceanography\u201d sign proudly stood, cleared of sand. We murmured, How did this happen?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what we had gathered together to talk about. This season, climate change and El Ni\u00f1o are taking the world by storm\u2014at least in Southern California. These factors exacerbate sea level rise, heavily battering the shores through runoff and wave action. The result? Flooding, erosion, and exposure of previously buried landmarks.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5850\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5850\" style=\"width: 864px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5850 size-full\" src=\"\/uscseagrant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2023\/12\/StudentBlog_January2016_RisingSeaLevels_Photo2.jpeg\" alt=\" Linda Chilton with USC Sea Grant leads the beach walk at La Jolla Shores.

Credit: Jennifer McWhorter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To help keep tabs on these natural hazards, researchers from Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO), Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS), US Geological Survey, and California Sea Grant create models to identify regions most at-risk of flooding and erosion. By teaming up with USC Sea Grant, the Urban Tides Community Science Initiative, a citizen science program, was born. How it works is simple: anytime you are at the beach, you can snap a picture and upload it into the database using a smart phone app or your computer (see guidelines). Researchers can then use these photos to ground-truth their models. This in turn helps city planners and communities better prepare for the impacts of future sea level rise and storm events.<\/p>\n<p>To further engage the community, beach walks are held to teach citizen scientists the in-depth science behind pictures, train them in app use, and bring together scientists and stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what the stroll along the beach was all about. On January 20th, a beach walk at La Jolla Shores, CA, gave people first hand experience to the \u201cking tides\u201d: the highest of the high and the lowest of the low. Waking up at 6 AM, meeting at 7\u2026not ideal. But it was incredibly rewarding. Not only did I meet community members, but learning directly from experts floored me. Did you know that the city hires bulldozers to move sand as an adaptation method? How about how the parking lot was completely flooded by recent rains and waves? And tides\u2014these systems are so well studied, that 10 years ago, experts could tell you this year\u2019s king tide days. Wow.<\/p>\n<p>The walk traveled from La Jolla Shores to Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and there a short lecture was held. Dr. Sarah Giddings (SIO) discussed the science while Linda Chilton (USC Sea Grant) gave us training to lead walks. Not only did we receive technical education, but Urban Tides provided the resources and tools to share this experience with others. In short, it lived up to its namesake\u2014it created a sense of community.<\/p>\n<p>I also developed a unique relationship with Urban Tides: I am working under Dr. Giddings to analyze the efficacy of the program and how we can enrich the experience for the parties involved. More importantly, I believe that citizen science programs are two-way streets: the research benefits from the community and the community gains from the science. Urban Tides aims to do exactly that, but to what extent are we succeeding?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5849\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5849\" style=\"width: 695px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5849 size-full\" src=\"\/uscseagrant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/52\/2023\/12\/StudentBlog_January2016_RisingSeaLevels_Photo3.jpeg\" alt=\"Dr. Sarah Giddings with Scripps discusses coastal flooding.

More importantly, it will have a bigger impact within our coastal communities. To establish a functional program, we need to understand our community:<\/p>\n<p>Who cares about the local region? Why? How can we help them?<\/p>\n<p>After all, this is a citizen science program, which is only operational if the is community involved.
