Projecting Future Scenarios for Fidalgo Bay (All day)
Projecting Future Scenarios for Fidalgo Bay - Modeling Water Circulation and Coastal Changes
Dr. Eric Grossman, Research Geologist, U.S. Geological Survey
“Dr. Grossman will discuss how the US Geological Survey is using powerful 3D computer modeling to examine coastal processes and inform ecosystem restoration and hazard mitigation in the Salish Sea. How might climate change, sea level rise and land use influence coastal communities, ecosystem restoration outcomes, and Fidalgo Bay? Learn how USGS is constructing a 3D hydrodynamic model of Fidalgo Bay as part of a larger Salish Sea model to study these questions. Citizen science can help USGS and its partners improve these models through research and monitoring – find out how you can get involved as a volunteer!”

FOSB Lecture Series - January 2017 (Fri. 20 Jan, 2017 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm)
“Research and Insights on Northwest Coast Humpback, Blue, and Gray Whales and their Incursions into the Salish Sea”
John Calambokidis, research biologist, Cascadia Research Cooperative, Olympia, WA
Some whale species like humpback, blue, and gray, now use Salish Sea waters more frequently than in the past. Come learn about new research on them, including feeding and other behaviors that explores why some are coming here.
