Defenders of our beaches lost a giant over the weekend. The legendary Orrin Pilkey passed away at 90 years old. I honestly felt like he was going to live forever and in some ways he will. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. 🧵

For 10 years I've been watching waves expose & chew up saltmarsh & lagoon mud along the beaches & shorefaces of the VA Barrier Islands. Thanks to incredible effort by VIMS PhD student MB Barksdale, we've been able to quantify that process & implications for blue carbon. www.vims.edu/newsandevent...

check out this new paper from Laura Portos-Amill, from when she was an MSc student working with me and Huib de Swart at UU. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... She put really nice new inlet physics in the barrier island model BRIE, to study how inlets expand from SLR.

I've been really quiet over here as I've been prepping for & co-leading an IGCP 725 meeting and field trip in Florianópolis, Brazil. If you've not totally given up on the other site (can't blame those who have) check out handle IGCP725 for a nice review of a truly awesome week.

If you're REALLY bored between 10 and 1ish tomorrow and want to wait around to catch my 5 min (and absolutely no more! I need to do some final cutting in the morning . . . ) testimony on barriers and any questions that come my way. Here's the link: naturalresources.house.gov/calendar/eve...

So, how's your weekend going? Gulp. (yes, this is an incredibly cool opportunity for which I'm extremely humbled and honored . . . but also . . . gulp).
