The WaveClock is your gateway to the ocean. New WaveClocks with Wetfeet Photo imagery are now available.

Wine Barrel WaveClock, Arctic Science, and Hurricane Forecasts!

Arctic Summer A close colleague of mine spends his summers on the coast. Granted many of us do, but he's on the North Slope of Alaska at Drew Point studying permafrost erosion. With the increasing global temps, there's less ice in the Arctic Ocean. More open water means more waves, which cause erosion of the shorelines. Ben spends his time helping to figure out what combination of elements are contributing to accelerated land loss in the Arctic. Check out the link to the latest observations below. A little lower in latitude, hurricanes are responsible for the largest coastal hazards. URI is embarking on modeling efforts to better predict and prepare for these hurricanes. See below for more! An amazing find this year yielded a ton of Redwood from 1932 Beaulieu Vineyards wine barrels. Rick Wilson, our master woodworking collaborator, immediately thought of WaveClocks.  We've also just released the new Wine Barrel WaveClocks! The wood is all Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified as sustainably reclaimed. It's your chance to own not only an amazing WaveClock, but a true piece of history. Also, you're sure to love the continuing art from Wetfeet Photography and Ventana Surfboards and Supplies. Check them out on ETSY.

The primary goal of the Teshekpuk Lake Observatory (TLO) is to gain a better understanding of the Arctic ecosystem during a period of rapid environmental change.  The TLO represents a collaborative effort between several great institutions that will help us better understand this critical environment.  Read about it here. The new Wine Barrel WaveClocks are here. The WaveClocks are your gateway to the ocean. The WaveClocks are made from single pieces of redwood and other hardwoods to show you at a glance what's happening with the waves and tides at your favorite spot.  The latest ones are up on our ETSY store!

The models will even predict the storm impact on particular roads, bridges and buildings in the area. Read more at URI.

Inspiration from Winter's Energy Winter 2018 has started off with excitement worldwide.  A fantastic Korean Olympics inspired us with athletes delivering up stellar performances in all fields.
