Socogazette 9-18.Indd What if I told you last year there were 2,412,151 cigarette butts or 1,739743 food wrappers all collected from beach cleanups. Shocking, right? Well here’s one more: enough balloons were collected to lift a great white shark according to Ocean Conservancy in 2017. All that trash would still be on the beaches if people like you didn’t help. This year International Coastal Cleanup is Saturday, September 15, 2018. There are cleanups taking place all over the world; many in Sonoma County. So, choose your beach or river and come out and make a difference. Let’s try and get all the trash out before the rains come. If you cannot make the September 15th cleanup there are other ongoing/monthly events throughout the county.

All Rights Reserved. ii Dane Kristopher Behrens December 2012 Civil and Environmental Engineering The Russian River Estuary: Inlet morphology, Management, and Estuarine Scalar Field Response Abstract Bar-built estuaries with unstable tidal inlets are widespread in Mediterranean climates and along wave-exposed coasts. While similarly important to coastal sediment balances and estuarine ecosystems, and more numerous than larger inlet systems, they suffer from a relative lack of understanding. This is a result of the setting: bar-built estuaries lie at a nexus of coastal and fluvial environments, often behaving like lakes with extreme variability in boundary conditions. At the ocean-side boundary, inlet channel blockage from wave-driven sedimentation is common, leading to water levels in the lagoon that are consistently higher than ocean levels (perched conditions) or to complete disconnection between the lagoon and the ocean (inlet closure). During times when the inlet channel allows tidal conveyance, flood tides provide saline, nutrient-rich water and vigorous turbulent mixing. Inlet closure traps seawater in the estuary and transforms these systems into salt-stratified coastal lakes.

  • Bodega Bay Field Trip Guide
    ESP/ERS 30 World Ecosystem and Geography Davis-Bodega Bay Sacramento Valley - Coastal Ranges & Valleys - Coastline Introduction This trip follows a westward transect from Davis across the low coastal mountain ranges to the coast. A. Plant Communities 1. Central Valley Grassland (now primarily agricultural fields and orchards) 2. Oak Savannas and Oak Woodlands 3. Chaparral and a chaparral variant with Gray Pine 4. A variety of Riparian habitats 5. Mixed Evergreen Forest 6. Redwood Forest 7. North Coastal Scrub and Prairie 8. Coastal Beach, Marsh, and Tidal Communities B. Environmental Factors Climatic zones you will encounter include the somewhat “continental” climate of the Sacramento Valley, characterized by cool, wet winters with frequent winter fog (a result of cold air subsidence off the Sierras and entrapment in the Valley by the Coast Ranges), and long, dry, hot summers. Even more continental climates are characteristic of regions much further inland, e.g., Ohio. Really extreme continental climates occur in Central Asia and Siberia. Continental climates are so called because as you move inland away from the ocean, the moderating effect of the ocean on temperature leads to more extremes inland. The Coast Ranges are characterized by somewhat less extreme, but still highly variable, conditions of temperature and precipitation as they are in a zone of transition between the more Continental climate of the Valley and the highly Maritime climate of the Coast. The climate along the Coast is dominated by the cool waters of the Pacific Ocean and the California Current which flows south along this part of our coast. The ocean acts as a buffer and greatly reduces the extremes in temperature characteristic of the Sacramento Valley but also increases the amount of moisture in the air, increasing relative humidity.

  • David E. Pesonen: the Battle for Bodega Head Stacey Olson
    David E. Pesonen: The Battle for Bodega Head Stacey Olson Individual Exhibit Senior Division (Exhibit: 477 student composed words) (Process Paper: 496 words) I decided to research David E. Pesonen and the battle for Bodega Head when I learned that PG&E had intended to build a nuclear power plant on Bodega Head in the 1960s. Initially, I was uncertain about choosing a local history topic, but after some research I decided that Pesonen’s leadership had a significant legacy far beyond Sonoma County. Pesonen’s leadership style enabled a grassroots protest to defeat the largest power company in the country. Through my research I’ve discovered that the legacy of this victory extended beyond the issue of nuclear power, influenced the modern environmental movement, and became a model for participatory democracy. I started my research by visiting the Sonoma State University Regional History Collection and looking at documents and photographs. I accessed special reports and oral histories at the Bancroft Library and the National Archives and Records Administration. My best secondary source was Critical Masses by Thomas Wellock. I also found useful documents at the Eisenhower Presidential Library and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Interviews were an integral source of information. I interviewed David Pesonen, Doris Sloan, and journalists who covered the battle. My interview with David Pesonen was key to understanding his leadership style and why he was significant. Beyond my interviews, my best primary source was A Visit to Atomic Park by David Pesonen. I balanced my research in several ways. For PG&E’s perspective, I researched the demands for energy, the Atoms for Peace initiative, and interviewed a local citizen who wanted the power plant.
