Key Biscayne blazes trail for County’s Back Bay storm surge study :

“The work at the Village of Key Biscayne is really a microcosm of what we’ve been talking about across the entire landscape,” said Jim Murley, the chief resilience officer for Miami-Dade County.

After escaping the island, they are stranded on a small sand island.
They have to find a way to leave that island again. So Luka experiments with his magic amulet.

It's Monday. Between the showers, the bees are busy on the sea holly in the dunes.
Have a good day! 😊👋

Come visit the Indiana Dunes!

I created a travel poster using AI and Canva.

Another great day of presentations at

The day's favorite was Peter Innes' work on local adaptation in sunflowers! Fascinating work and a great showcase of what multi-omics datasets can do for ecology and evolution research.

AAAS: "In a twist, beach grass could make dunes more vulnerable to storms."During hurricane, dunes take brunt of accentuated wave action. Land managers oftem advocate planting grasses + other vegetation to boost integrity. Scientists study dunes in large metal troughs called wave tanks, but typically only several meters in length + trials last an hour. But Oregon State University has a104-meter-long flume. Brought in 500 cubic meters of sand + spent wks sculpting a beach + dune, then gave 6 months for bitter panicgrass (Panicum amarum) to grow and establish roots. 'Experiment simulated 19 hours of wave battering in total.' But every half-hour halted to scan the shape of the dune with a laser. [Experiment repeated with identical dune bare sand]. With bare sand, waves removed sand but slope remained the same. But with dune anchored by plants, waves excavated sand in front of vegetation. "These divots grew into larger depressions as more erosive energy was concentrated in a smaller area, because the grass blocked part of each wave." After 14 hrs, the waves had carved a 79 cm vertical face of sand called a scarp. Then the erosion rapidly accelerated against the vertical face of sand. "Overall, the vegetated dune lost 22% more sand than the bare dune because of erosion." But bitter panicgrass has fewer roots than other dominant species on dunes, + plants helpd dunes rebuild after storms because they trap wind-blown sand. As always, more research needed.

In de duinen zijn ook varens. Het zijn er veel. Ik liep op sommige plekken in de schaduw, maar ook veel plekken niet. Het was warm in de duinen vandaag, maar mooi is het altijd.
