This seminar was part of the NCSU Libraries’ Coffee & Viz event series, and it was held in the Teaching and Visualization Lab. This lab has 10 overhead projectors and can display graphics on three walls — the entire front and both full sides of the room. More photos are included below.

News: Storm Surge Modeling during Hurricane Florence
Hurricane Florence Coverage from Around the State
Hurricane Florence, which is now a Category 2 storm, continues to bear down on the Carolina coast. The National Weather Service says it is likely to be “the storm of a lifetime” for certain portions of that coastline. Officials have ordered the evacuation of over 1 million people from the coasts of North and South Carolina. … Stasio is joined by Casey Dietrich, a professor in North Carolina State University’s Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering and leader of its Coastal and Computational Hydraulics Team. Dietrich explains the models currently being refined to help predict and plan for hurricanes and their effects on coastlines.
For this episode of The State of Things, the full-length podcast is embedded below. The interview with Casey Dietrich starts at about the 37-minute mark. It was great to describe our projects with DHS, NSF, and NC Sea Grant as part of this episode about Hurricane Florence.
Wave Gauge Deployment for Hurricane Florence
The goal, locations, and a few pictures of the wave gauge deployment are included below.
