Today Kim Prather (@kprather88) gifted a #CorsiRosenthalBox to the @WhiteHouse, as part of her outreach on the importance of cleaning the air to prevent transmission of SARS-CoV2. Nicknamed “Air Force One,” it was presented to @WHOSTP by Prather and @MarinaC_Dyb of @UConn. Image C-R air filtration boxes are made from a box fan, MERV-13 filters & duct tape. The low-cost, DIY boxes can filter the air for up to six months. Prather also led the effort to build 250 for @UCSanDiego as part of the university’s #ReturnToLearn initiative: go.ucsd.edu/3U2wVEy

#HurricaneKay weakening into a tropical storm will bring widespread showers with potential for inland flooding to the Southern California region, says @jaycordeira of @CW3E_Scripps. View the water vapor transport forecast showing the storm’s movement: cw3e.ucsd.edu/ivt_iwv_uswc/ “The storm's circulation will drag water vapor up the Mexican coastline & into SoCal, but will be drastically different than the hurricane making landfall here. The latest forecasts bring the storm's circulation (tropical storm) to SD.” - @jaycordeira of @CW3E_Scripps

A new @CDIPBuoys (Coastal Data Information Program) monitoring station (CDIP 262 Leucadia Nearshore) was established at Beacon’s Beach to provide continuous wave observations offshore from this #CoastalErosion study site. 🌊 A CDIP buoy floats in the o... The new buoy station will monitor waves in the context of coastal erosion. The high-precision wave buoy data provided will allow researchers to understand wave effects independent of other environmental factors. 🌊 A CDIP buoy floats in storm...

A team of marine biologists led by Scripps Oceanography's Amro Hamdoun (@Hamdounlab) has created lines of sea urchins — the marine equivalent of lab rats — that can be used as genetic models using the gene editing technology known as #CRISPR.

The creation of these new research model organisms will accelerate the pace of marine #biomedical research. A postdoctoral researcher processes a sample under the micro

Today on #WorldMangroveDay, we're appreciating these salt-tolerant trees that live where the ocean meets the coast. 🌊🌳 Mangroves provide essential habitat for thousands of species. They also stabilize shorelines, and play an essential role as carbon sinks. 📷@octavioaburto A photo of 3 researchers wo... Researchers @octavioaburto, @MangroveMatt, @_hsumar, and others at Scripps have studied #mangroves in places like Mexico and the Galápagos Islands. They've been sampling mangrove sediments to understand understand carbon storage in these coastal ecosystems. #WorldMangroveDay An underwater image facing ...
