The Power of Waves

Graduate student Anna Wargula (above, at a 2014 open house) will speak on “The Power of Waves at Martha’s Vineyard” in the summer talk series, “Science Made Public,” July 19 at the WHOI Ocean Science Exhibit Center. The southern barrier beach of Martha’s Vineyard is one of the most dynamic coasts in Massachusetts, affected by storms, waves, and hurricanes. Hear how WHOI scientists make measurements in breaking waves and strong currents and how ocean waves affect tidal flows in inlets and bays.(Photo by Tom Kleindinst, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
