NASA invites Carmel-by-the-Sea staff to Asilomar conference to discuss sea-level rise work
Summary
NASA invited Carmel-by-the-Sea staff to present local sea-level rise and coastal studies at an Asilomar conference on ocean circulation and climate; the city said Mr. Barron and Public Works staff will present.
City officials said NASA invited city staff to a conference at Asilomar focused on estimating ocean circulation and climate; the invitation followed the city’s recent sea-level rise studies for Carmel Beach.
“[NASA] ask us to come and talk about how, you know, from the applicator standpoint, from the practitioner standpoint, what we're doing to ... address this very, very important issue,” a city official said.
The city indicated that Mr. Barron, who has led the local effort in recent years, will make the introduction and that Val and Mary from the public works department will give a short presentation. The official said other city representatives, including Ken, plan to attend and mostly listen.
Officials described the audience as technical — Ph.D. researchers and postdoctoral scientists at Asilomar — and said recorded material of the local work is available online. No formal action or funding decisions related to the presentation were announced in the meeting remarks.
