Study Shows Coastal Businesses Especially Vulnerable to Sea Level Rise Hazards
A new
research paper authored by
Jie Song (UF) and collaborators shows that business vulnerability to flooding will be escalated substantially by sea level rise. To quantify the vulnerability of businesses to environmental hazards, the team established a conceptual framework of business vulnerability index incorporating business characteristics, infrastructure factors, and other indicators.

Warming Pulses in Ancient Climate Record Link Volcanoes, Asteroid Impact, and Dinosaur-Killing Mass Extinction
Andrea Dutton (UF) and colleagues at the University of Michigan have completed a new reconstruction of Antarctic ocean temperatures around the time the dinosaurs disappeared 66 million years ago that supports the idea that one of the planet's biggest mass extinctions was due to the combined effects of volcanic eruptions and an asteroid impact.

Andrea Dutton Elected Fellow of Geological Society of America
Dr. Andrea Dutton (UF) has been elected a Fellow of the
Geological Society of America. Nominator Benjamin Horton (Rutgers University) said of Dr. Dutton:
"Andrea displays enthusiasm and energy, as well as an encyclopedic knowledge of geology. She quotes the primary geoscience literature at will both historic as well as modern. This plus her creativity to isolate the basic mechanisms of sea level change is a rare and unbeatable combination."

New Funding for Development of Drifter Technology
NOAA has awarded $380,476 for a project titled, "Development of New Drifter Technology for Observing Currents at the Ocean Surface."
Steve Morey,
Nico Wienders,
Mark Bourassa, and
Dmitry Dukhovskoy (all of FSU), as well as
Rick Lumpkin (NOAA/AOML), will develop and test a new satellite tracked drifter design for measuring currents at the very surface of the ocean.
