Nov. 14, 2023 - Research and Sponsored Programs (RSP) is pleased to announce that California Sea Grant (CASG) and the CSU Council on Ocean Affairs, Science & Technology (COAST), via subaward from the University Corporation at Monterey Bay, have awarded $55,776 in continued funding to Professor Kiki Patsch and Professor Dan Reineman's project entitled “Sustaining Beaches and Social Equity under Higher Sea Levels: An interdisciplinary case study of the Santa Barbara Littoral Cell.”
The project addresses the threat to California’s beaches: by 2100, up to 67 percent of California's beautiful beaches could disappear due to sea level rise. Project investigators will collect data on beaches and from surveys of beachgoers to identify what factors might enable and discourage beach access and use.
Additional details are available online.
