The RBDA is pleased to announce that Prof. Gary Griggs (a former RBDA board member) will be speaking at our public meeting at 7:30 pm, March 8. Gary is world-renowned for his work on the California coast, and he will put into perspective our recent storms and their impact. Gary is an exceptional speaker, and has been busy giving interviews to the press about the storms last month. We are fortunate he could fit us in, and we expect this to be a great presentation. You have your choice of attending in person at the BD Elementary School, or by zoom.
Gary Griggs is a Professor of Earth & Planetary Sciences at the University of California Santa Cruz where he has taught for 55 years. He also served as the Director of the Institute of Marine Sciences for 26 years, where he led the development of the Coastal Sciences Campus and the Seymour Marine Discovery Center. His research, teaching and writing have been focused on geologic hazards and the coast of California, including coastal processes, hazards, and sea-level rise. The UCSC Alumni Association honored him with a Distinguished Teaching Award in 2006. In 2009 the California Coastal Commission and Sunset Magazine named him one of California’s Coastal Heroes.
