Abstract: Coastal communities are experiencing increased inundation occurrences due to sea level rise, hurricane flooding and high tide events. Identification of businesses and jobs most vulnerable to inundation is an important part of coastal municipal planning, especially for areas with working waterfronts. Unfortunately, many smaller coastal communities do not have the expertise and funding to conduct the analyses needed to obtain this information, and often require technical assistance. As such, this research project examined the U.S. coast to identify cities that were at risk to coastal inundation hazards using a variety of national datasets: FEMA National Risk Index, NOAA Sea Level Rise Viewer, NOAA Coastal Flood Exposure Mapper, NOAA C-CAP Land Cover and the Hazard Economics Rural Capacity Index Map. Four case study areas were identified after preliminary overlay of inundation hazards with businesses in the marine economy using 2021 ESRI Business Analyst data and further discussions with regional partners: Chelsea, MA; Cape May, NJ; Crisfield, MD and Murrells Inlet, SC. Four inundation hazard layers (high tide flooding, sea level rise 1-4ft, category 1 storm surge, FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas) were overlaid with business locations in each case study area, and maps of flooding extent for each hazard and their impact on the marine economy were produced. Percentage of businesses inundated, potential total number of employees impacted, and potential sales volume lost for the marine and non- marine economy were calculated. Site specific information for each case study was also included for general context of the local economy. These case studies illustrate the potential efficacy of creating city-specific business inundation profiles for municipal planners using ESRI Business Analyst, and an initial framework for a methodology to identify smaller coastal communities in need of this form of technical assistance.

Title: A dual-wavelength photothermal aerosol absorption monitor: design, calibration, performance and measurements of coated soot
NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory Seminar Series

Presenter(s): Dr. Gria Monik, University of Nova Gorica

Sponsor(s): NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory.

Seminar Contact(s): caroline.womack@noaa.gov

Remote Access: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5569556792983462240

Abstract: The direct measurement of aerosol light absorption coefficient is preferable over indirect methods. A photothermal interferometer probes the change of the refractive index caused by light absorption in the sample " the detection is linear and can be traced to first principles. Measurement at two wavelengths allows the determination of its wavelength dependence and the ngstrm exponent (AAE). The photothermal aerosol absorption monitor (PTAAM) uses a folded Mach-Zender interferometer. Two pump lasers at 532 and 1064 nm are modulated at different frequencies and focused in the sample chamber using an axicon (patent granted) for simultaneous measurement. The interferometer signal is detected by photodiodes and lock-in amplifiers at the two respective frequencies. The green channel is calibrated traceably to primary standards using ~1 mol/mol NO2. The calibration is transferred to the IR using aerosolized nigrosin. The uncertainties for absorption coefficients at 532 and 1064 nm and AAE were 4%, 6% and 9%, respectively. We calibrated filter photometers in green and IR. A winter ambient campaign has shown similar multiple scattering parameter values for ambient aerosols and laboratory experiments. We have also determined the absorption enhancement by coatings of BC with non-absorbing secondary organic matter (SOM).

Bio(s): Dr. Gria Monik is a professor at the University of Nova Gorica in Slovenia. He received his PhD in physics from the University of Ljubljana. He serves as the Head of the Center for Atmospheric Research and the Dean of the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of Nova Gorica.

Abstract: Habitat is a central concept for all ecological research, and provides the mechanistic connection between individual-level behaviors, environmental and climate changes, and population-level demographics. The Magnuson-Stevens Act mandates that fisheries management councils designate Essential Fish habitat (EFH) and revisit those designations every five years. The Alaska Fisheries Science Center and Regional Office have a multi-decadal partnership regarding EFH research, including funds for analytical, laboratory, and field research. In this talk, we quickly outline this partnership and then discuss recent and future research to support designating Alaska EFH. We start by summarizing an ensemble species distribution model (SDM) used to identify species densities for over 200 groundfish species and life-stages. This ensemble mitigates consistent differences in EFH area identified using individual models, and was recently adopted by the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council to designate EFH. We then discuss future EFH research using archival tags and stomach-content data. The archival-tag research applies a mechanistic diffusion-taxis movement model to archival tag data for Pacific cod, and estimates habitat preferences (and resulting habitat utilization) using a Hidden Markov model. The stomach-content research applies a thinned and marked point process, fitted as a Generalized Additive Model involving the multivariate Tweedie distribution. We specifically estimate a spatially varying catchability ratio between stomach contents and industry cooperative surveys for juvenile snow crab, and the resulting abundance index is correlated with stock-assessment estimates of crab recruitment. We share some current and future directions for using multiple data streams to inform SDMs and identifying prey habitat. Throughout, we emphasize that habitat research provides an avenue to combine field, laboratory, and analytical research, and provides opportunity for creative, cross-program research.

Accessibility: TBD

Abstract: NOAA's National Centers for Coastal and Ocean Science Competitive Research Program (NCCOS/CRP) is pleased to announce a Fiscal Year2024 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Ecology & Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms (ECOHAB) Program. The ECOHAB program was authorized under the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act (HABHRCA) in 1998 as an applied competitive research program designed to increase the understanding of the fundamental processes underlying the causes and impacts of HABs. Such understanding is required to develop appropriate HAB management and response strategies. While considerable progress has been made toward understanding and predicting HAB events and their impacts, the complexity of HABs has become more apparent and new HAB problems have emerged. Thus, research into the causes and impacts of HABs and toxins is still essential and will require a multi-disciplinary, holistic approach to advance our current understanding. NCCOS/CRP is soliciting proposals for targeted and regional FY2024 ECOHAB projects that aim to enhance predictive and/or applied science capabilities for HAB events. A letter of intent is required. The deadline for letters of intent is October 18, 2023; and full applications are due by 11:59PM ET on January 31, 2024. Please see the full NOFO in Grants.Gov for additional details and instructions, and visit the NCCOS Funding Opportunities page for more information including a recording and FAQ from this webinar.

Title: This webinar is being rescheduled for October 27, 2023: NOAA-ECCC Extreme Temperature

Remote Access: Challenges & opportunities in using heat mortality & emergency department information for estimating health burden

Presenter(s): Ambarish Vaidyanathan, Centers for Disease Control & Prevention

Sponsor(s): NOAA National Weather Service / Analyze, Forecast, and Support Office

Seminar Contact(s): Kimberly McMahon, kimberly.mcmahon@noaa.gov

Remote Access: This webinar is being rescheduled for October 27, 2023

Abstract: Heat continues to be the leading weather-related killer with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimating an average of 1,220 heat-related deaths occurred in the United States annually (2019 "2021) based on information reported in death certificates. However, the true mortality burden is higher because heat exposure is a contributing factor to deaths resulting from many causes. NOAA's global analysis shows that the 10 warmest years on record have all occurred since 2005, and 7 of the 10 have occurred just since 2014. Not only are heat waves occurring more frequently, but are also more intense and longer-lasting with less cooling overnight, leading to more strain on the human body.

This webinar will focus on the convergence of heat and health, specifically exploring the challenges and opportunities around the analysis of heat mortality and emergency department information.

Bio(s): Rish Vaidyanathan is a senior health scientist with the Climate and Health Program at the National Center for Environmental Health, CDC. Rish's training and work experience covers a wide range of substantive areas, including epidemiology, exposure assessment, and data science. In addition, he has several years of experience planning, coordinating, and implementing strategies to facilitate the conduct of environmental health surveillance and translational research projects. Specifically, he has been able to establish mutually beneficial collaborations with various academic institutions, state and local health departments, and federal agencies on efforts to identify and characterize populations most at risk to extreme heat and other climate-sensitive exposures.

Title: The Synergy of Data From Profiling Floats, Machine Learning and Numerical Modeling: Case of the Black Sea Euphotic Zone

Presenter(s): Emil Stanev (Institute of Coastal Systems, Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Geesthacht, Germany)

Remote Access: Connect with Google Meet meet.google.com/kti-ktaw-nes,
Phone Numbers (US)+1414-856-5982 PIN: 248 179#

Abstract: Data from profiling floats in the Black Sea revealed complex temporal and spatial relationships between physical variables and oxygen, chlorophyll and the backscattering coefficient at 700 nm, as well as some limits in understanding the details of biogeochemistry dynamics. To account for different interdependences between physical and biogeochemical properties, a feedforward backpropagation neural network (NN) was used. This NN learns from data recorded by profiling floats and predicts biogeochemical states using physical measurements only. The performance was very high, particularly for oxygen, but it decreased when the NN was applied to older data because the interrelationships between the physical and biogeochemical properties have changed recently. The biogeochemical states reconstructed by the NN using physical data produced by a coupled physical"biogeochemical operational model were better than the biogeochemical outputs of the same coupled model. Therefore, the use of data from profiling floats, physical properties from numerical models and NNs appears to be a powerful approach for reconstructing the 4D dynamics of the euphotic zone. Basin-wide patterns and temporal variabilities in oxygen, backscattering coefficient and chlorophyll were also analyzed. Of particular interest is the reconstruction of short-lived biogeochemical features, particularly in coastal anticyclone areas, which are difficult to observe with available floats at the basin scale.

Title: Coastal Acidification in the Classroom

Presenter(s): Kirstin Wakefield (MARACOOS), Anna Caputo (Chesapeake Bay NERRS) and Sarah Nuss (Chesapeake Bay NERRS)

Sponsor(s): NOAA Ocean Acidification Program SOARCE webinar series https://oceanacidification.noaa.gov/ocean-acidification-education-outreach/

Seminar Contact(s): natalie.lord@noaa.gov

Remote Access: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3941533015916563290

Abstract: Coastal Acidification is the changing of pH in coastal waters caused by excess CO2 and local factors such as nutrient runoff, upwelling, and hypoxia. Coastal acidification can occur uniquely in each coastal area depending on the individual stressors there. The Mid-Atlantic Coastal Acidification Network (MACAN) sought to create a teaching tool on coastal acidification specific to the Mid-Atlantic region. Educators from NJ, DE, and VA collaborated to collate and modify existing resources, as well as create new resources, to build a module for 6-12 teachers. The module includes lesson plans adapted from organizations like NOAA, Sea Grant, and Project Learning Tree that will help students build an understanding of the issues by learning about estuarine chemistry and the effects of acidifying waters on marine habitats and biota.

Title: Remote Sensing of Sea Surface Glacial Meltwater on the Antarctic Peninsula Shelf

Presenter(s): Jack Pan, NASA Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL)

Sponsor(s): NOAA Ocean Color Coordinating Group (NOCCG)

Location: WebinarAbstract
Glacial meltwater is an important environmental variable for ecosystem dynamics along the biologically productive Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) shelf. This region is experiencing rapid change, including increasing glacial meltwater discharge associated with the melting of land ice. To better understand the WAP environment and aid ecosystem forecasting, additional methods are needed for monitoring and quantifying glacial meltwater for this remote, sparsely sampled location. Prior studies showed that sea surface glacial meltwater (SSGM) has unique optical characteristics which may allow remote sensing detection via ocean color data. In this study, we develop a first-generation model for quantifying SSGM that can be applied to both spaceborne (MODIS-Aqua) and airborne (PRISM) ocean color platforms. In addition, the model was prepared and verified with one of the more comprehensive in-situ stable oxygen isotope datasets compiled for the WAP region. The SSGM model appears robust and provides accurate predictions of the fractional contribution of glacial meltwater to seawater when compared with in-situ data (r = 0.82, median absolute percent difference = 6.38%, median bias = '0.04), thus offering an additional novel method for quantifying and studying glacial meltwater in the WAP region.

Accessibility: Webex closed captioning available.

Abstract: By incorporating trophic interactions and temperature-dependent bioenergetics, multi-species models such as CEATTLE (Climate-Enhanced Age-based Model with Temperature-specific Trophic Linkages and Energetics) are a step towards ecosystem-based assessment and management for species such as Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) in the California Current Ecosystem. Hake are generalist predators, and previous studies have determined that their diet consists of approximately 30% cannibalism. We used CEATTLE to include cannibalism in a model of hake population dynamics and re-examined hake diet data from 1980 onwards to determine the cannibalism proportions. Cannibalism rates were highly variable, ranging between 0 and 80% of stomach contents by weight. The estimated spawning stock biomass, total biomass, and recruitment increased by 16%, 31%, and 197% relative to the single-species model when cannibalism was included in the CEATTLE model, due to the increased mortality, primarily for age-1 hake.

Bio(s): Sophia is a new member of the GAP Bering Sea team and was previously a postdoc in the Punt Lab at UW, working on two projects. The first was a mixed-species management strategy evaluation of groundfish in the Bering with colleagues at the AFSC and the other, which she's talking about today, was applying the CEATTLE model to cannibalism in Pacific hake with the NWFSC. She received her PhD from the University of Galway in Ireland.

Remote Access: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3275595106750311258Abstract
The Motus Wildlife Tracking System is an open-source, international network of community hosted radio-telemetry receivers and wildlife researchers designed to investigate a wide variety of wildlife movement questions. Volunteer partners host and operate receiving stations across the world that autonomously listen for flying migratory animals equipped with transmitters called nanotags. Researchers rely on the receivers for movement data for a diversity of tagged wildlife, including birds, bats, and insects. Despite widespread interest in wildlife tracking and research within and beyond the Reserve system, this technology has only been used sporadically at a few reserve sites to date.In 2018, the ACE Basin NERR received private funding to implement a Motus receiver station at partner State Park, which sparked interest from potential collaborators. Since 2020, a multi-reserve project led by the ACE Basin Reserve has held a series of workshops to provide guidance and assistance on siting, construction, installation, and interpretation of Motus sites at participating reserves. In this webinar, project lead Jessica Kinsella will share how this effort has created new partnerships and positioned the Reserve as a regional leader for the Motus initiative, while enabling partners to increase their contribution to coastal bird research and engage their end users in coastal bird conservation and management.

Title: Developing High-Resolution Records of Storminess from the Southern Bering Sea


Presenter(s): Reyce Bogardus and Vladimir Alexeev (University of Alaska, Fairbanks)

Sponsor(s): NOAA/OAR/Climate Program Office and the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP)

Seminar Contacts: Alison Hayden (abhayden@alaska.edu) & Genie Bey (genie.bey@noaa.gov)

Remote Access: https://uaf-accap.org/event/storminess-bering-sea/

Abstract: In the Bering Sea, rapid climate change may be causing more intense storms, flooding and erosion. As a modern example, Typhoon Merbok made landfall in Western Alaska in September 2022, necessitating disaster declarations at the state and federal level to facilitate repairs in 40 western Alaskan communities. Little is known about how the frequency of intense storms may vary in the region on multidecadal to centennial timescales, given that storminess composites in the Bering Sea region only extend back approximately 40 years. To better understand how storm scenarios will play out in the future, a collaborative team of researchers is reconstructing the prehistoric record of extreme events from ancient sediment samples to improve our understanding of how storm intensity and frequency has changed through time. During this webinar, we will discuss findings from samples collected along the Aleutian Islands chain on the R/V Sikuliaq during the summer of 2022.

Bio(s): Reyce Bogardus earned his B.S. in Geoscience at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, concentrating in landscape analysis and climate change with a minor in Geographic Information Systems. Since graduating in 2018, he has been in the graduate program at UAF where his research includes coastal geomorphology, numerical modeling, and oceanography. Reyce is interested in measuring and forecasting the effects of climate change on ocean conditions, which drive coastal change in the Arctic.

Vladimir Alexeev is research faculty at the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He uses a hierarchy of models and observational data to study large-scale dynamics of climate. His research focuses include climate dynamics, atmospheric large-scale circulation, and permafrost.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Abstract: Heat continues to be the leading weather-related killer with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimating an average of 1,220 heat-related deaths occurred in the United States annually (2019 "2021) based on information reported in death certificates. However, the true mortality burden is higher because heat exposure is a contributing factor to deaths resulting from many causes. NOAA's global analysis shows that the 10 warmest years on record have all occurred since 2005, and 7 of the 10 have occurred just since 2014. Not only are heat waves occurring more frequently, but are also more intense and longer-lasting with less cooling overnight, leading to more strain on the human body.

This webinar will focus on the convergence of heat and health, specifically exploring the challenges and opportunities around the analysis of heat mortality and emergency department information.

Bio(s): Rish Vaidyanathan is a senior health scientist with the Climate and Health Program at the National Center for Environmental Health, CDC.

Abstract:
The sediments of the vast ocean floor represent the world's largest non-fossil pool of organic carbon, yet they are not well-studied or protected. The carbon in these sediments can remain stored for thousands to millions of years; however, activities such as mining, oil and gas exploration, and bottom-contact fishing can disturb sediment, resuspending it into the water column and potentially remineralizing carbon into aqueous CO2. Current understanding of marine sediment carbon along the US West Coast is limited, constraining meaningful management and protection of these critically important carbon sinks. The Greater Farallones Association, in partnership with NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) and NOAA's Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries, conducted the first systematic evaluation of marine sedimentary carbon stocks in North-central California. This webinar will discuss the importance of marine sediments in global carbon sequestration and storage. It will also present the results of this study, including an estimate of the carbon stock within the Sanctuaries' marine sediments and identification of carbon hot-spots on the seafloor based on a novel spatial model of carbon density.

Abstract: AFSC scientists, together with academic and fishing industry partners, have completed a third summer of data collection in our Gulf of Alaska cooperative rockfish survey. This project, the Science - Industry Rockfish Research Collaboration in Alaska (SIRRCA), aims to improve rockfish assessment models by increased sampling in the rocky habitats that many rockfish species prefer. These habitats are successfully fished by our industry partners but are deemed untrawlable to the NMFS survey vessels and gear, promoting collaborative sampling. Come learn more about what SIRRCA has accomplished thus far and where we are headed with this ambitious government " industry cooperative research.

Bio(s): Madison is currently a member of the Bering Sea research group at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center in Seattle. She obtained a Bachelor's of Science in Biology from the Georgia Institute of Technology, a Master's of Science in Zoology from Rhodes University in South Africa, and a PhD in Conservation Biology from the University of Central Florida. None of this work was conducted on fish or fisheries, but it did involve intensive spatiotemporal statistical modeling of the seascape, harrowing fieldwork, and working in large groups of diverse stakeholders. This lead to a postdoc in the Fisheries, Aquatic Science, and Technology lab at Alaska Pacific University, and eventually to her joining AFSC as a research biologist. Over the past few years she has lead the design and execution of a cooperative survey in the Alaskan rockfish fishery entitled the Science-Industry Rockfish Research Collaboration in Alaska (or SIRRCA). Today she will be discussing what the project has accomplished thus far and where they plan to go from here.

Location: Webinar

Remote Access: Register at https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/7845810845202481493

Abstract: How can we help build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Marine Science workforce? How can we help youth see it so they can be it? Reaching youth in culturally relevant, creative ways that they can relate to, is essential for accomplishing this.
STEAM the Streets specializes in producing unique content that promotes career paths in STEM and the Arts (STEAM), and through their experience as educators and youth developers, have a proven recipe for keeping youth engaged.NOAA's Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary Marine Ecologist, Tammy Silva, partnered up with STEAM the Streets to create videos and a learning module to reach, engage, and educate youth about the triumphs and challenges of a career in Marine Ecology. The learning module and videos are included in the free STEAM the Streets mobile app, and the content can be utilized outside of the app to educate students in a classroom setting. In this webinar, educators will hear about the career module content, learn about the app, and receive access to the free materials so that they can implement the app or the lesson with their classes.Are our seminars recorded?

Estuaries are coastal gems. To protect and restore them, we need a clear understanding of exactly where they are, where they were, and where they could be in the future. A team led by the National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs) recently completed an ambitious effort to map estuarine habitat in and around the 30 NERRs. They used a powerful combination of NOAA resources for elevation and tidal datums to map the reach of tides, historical topographic sheets generated by NOAA's predecessor agency to map past habitat distributions, and compared this to mapping from USFWS's National Wetland Inventory (NWI). Elevation-based mapping revealed that estuary extent is greater than currently mapped in NWI. At more than two-thirds of the Reserves, the team detected tidal forests missed by NWI. Comparison of historical maps to NWI revealed dramatically greater loss of tidal wetland extent on the Pacific coast than in other regions. The results of this investigation suggest that multiple mapping methods complement each other and should be integrated to provide a more accurate understanding of estuaries"past, present and future.
