Now with the help of a $750,000 award from NASA, civil and environmental engineering Professor Erin Hestir (right) and her postdoctoral scholar Dulcinea Avouris will be studying this over the next three years along with civil and environmental engineering Professor Tom Harmon. The project, titled “Wildfire Impacts on Watershed Transport of Carbon to Coasts,” will examine how wildfires alter changes in carbon and sediment along California’s coastline and how these changes impact kelp forests and coastal productivity. The study will examine changes from 2000 to 2020, a period in which hi...

By Elizabeth Arakelian, UC Merced July 20, 2021 Two engineering professors and a graduate student received a grant from NASA to study how wildfires alter changes in carbon and sediment along California’s coastline. California is known for its beautiful coastline, where the Pacific Ocean meets sandy beaches and rugged cliffs. While many scientists have studied the land or the ocean independently, less is known about the nexus of the two. Now with the help of a $750,000 award from NASA, civil and environmental engineering Professor Erin Hestir (below) and her postdoctoral scholar Dulcinea Av...
