Engineering Professor Awarded NASA Grant to Study Impacts of Wildfires on California's Coastline
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.
