Most of my posts tend to reflect my love of marine mammals, specifically the large, \u201ccharismatic whales\u201d as they are oft referred to.<\/p>\n

But I wanted to tell you about one of my day jobs. [As if grad students have all this time in-between taking classes and working on their thesis. But I digress \u2026 ]<\/p>\n

I work for a marine engineering company in Santa Cruz, doing coastal engineering. Or, what we tell the general public: we play with mud.<\/p>\n

Coastal engineering is a sector within civil engineering. This means companies hire us to help them with harbor design and construction; beach nourishment and erosion studies; wave modeling and forecasting, sediment transport modeling; and dredging and pile driving monitoring; among many others.<\/p>\n
