Hi everyone,

The next ATOC Colloquium will be held in a hybrid format on *Friday, March
24 from 11a–12p MT over Zoom and in SEEC S228. *This week's colloquium will
feature a seminar from *Dr. Melissa Moulton (NCAR/CGD)* entitled, *"From
the Beach to the Sea and Back: How Pollutants, Nutrients, and Organisms
Move in the Coastal Ocean*". The zoom login information and an abstract for
the colloquium are provided below. Please join us for coffee and
conversation beginning at 10:45am MT, and stay afterwards for a lunch
catered by Illegal Pete's.
Please let us know if you have any questions or are interested in
delivering a talk at a future colloquium. A full schedule of ATOC colloquia
can be found at https://www.colorado.edu/atoc/colloquium.

We look forward to seeing you on Mar. 24!

*From the Beach to the Sea and Back: How Pollutants, Nutrients, and
Organisms Move in the Coastal Ocean *
Melissa Moulton (NCAR/CGD)

The coastal ocean is the boundary between land and the open ocean. In
addition to swimmers and surfers, perilously perched homes, and fragile
ecosystems, the coast is home to a host of complex physical processes that
are important for public safety and economic activity. This talk will
consist of two parts: First, I will describe how contaminants and nutrients
moved in the coastal ocean following Hurricane Florence, a historic
precipitation event that hit the southeastern US in Sept, 2018. Open-air
lagoons used to store waste from industrial hog farming were breached,
causing sewage to flow into the ocean, leading to harmful algal blooms,
beach closures, and other impacts. Using a coupled
atmosphere-hydrology-ocean model, I show that the patterns of river plumes
led to a delayed onset and long duration of contaminants affecting beaches
hundreds of km down the coast, days to weeks after the storm. This
information could help guide water quality sampling and swimming or
shellfishing advisories. In the second part of the talk, I will zoom in to
the ‘nearshore region,’ within a few kilometers of the beach, which is
smaller than a typical grid cell in a regional or global ocean model.
There, I will provide an overview of the processes that move plankton,
pollutants, and other materials from the beach to deeper waters and back,
and how behaviors like swimming or buoyancy affect coastal exchange
(Moulton et al., Annual Review of Marine Science, 2023). A parameterization
is developed that could be applied to account for unresolved coastal
processes in earth system models.
