The Coolest on Science and Surf in the Spring We're officially into spring and it's slowly warming up everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. The USGS in Santa Cruz has also been released some fantastic maps of the coast that help visualize where some of our best surf, sand, and fish come from. Along those lines, the folks at Grist have also put together an excellent sea level rise summary, and if that's not enough, head down to the article on how extreme waves are formed! Check out the articles below. In the spring sunshine, we've been busy using the sunny days to get new wooden WaveClock built, sanded, stained, and working! Your feedback during our survey helped out immensely in selecting the coolest stains. Check out our always updating stock at ETSY. We have about a dozen new wooden clocks coming this week. Also, share our website with your friends so they can see what the WaveClock is all about!

Underwater Relief The Pacific Marine Sciences division of the USGS in Santa Cruz has produced some fantastic underwater maps of the Pacific Coast over the past decade. Much of the recent work is yielding unprecedented insight. Grist has put together an informative and fun description of sea level rise through a conversation with the Climate Scientists Hotline. It helps to communicate some of the numbers thrown around. Extreme Waves The term "rogue waves" is often used to describe a situation where large waves result due to wave addition. While these are really just extreme storm waves, this article has a great discussion.
