Hello, alumni, supporters and friends of CEOE, October started and ended with two terrific gatherings. On the 7th, we had another successful Coast Day at the Hugh R. Sharp Campus in Lewes. Read more on the Coast Day website or check out the photo gallery of the day on Delaware Sea Grant's site. Then on the 27th some of our most loyal alumni and I watched the Blue Hens win their Homecoming game after a wonderful All-Alumni Tailgate. If you were unable to make it this year, I hope you will join us in 2019. Before then, though, I want to invite all of our alumni to consider joining together in two ways—virtually and in person. We are working to reinvigorate our LinkedIn Group as a place where alumni of the College of Earth, Ocean and Environment can stay in touch and network, but that will only work if we have a good number of us connected! Please visit www.linkedin.com/groups/6802065 and request to join. We will post events and news, but we are really hoping alumni will reconnect and interact on your own. So join today! Secondly, if you will be in Washington, D.C., during the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union, please plan to join us at an alumni reception on Tuesday, Dec. 11. Admission is free, but registration is required using this form .   Warm regards, Estella Atekwana Dean 

ACADEMIC UNITS

GEOGRAPHY Hurricane Precipitation Cristina Archer published a research paper that discovered an unexpected benefit of large-scale offshore wind farms: they lessen the precipitation caused by hurricanes.    To learn how to start addressing the world’s multifaceted water crisis , UD graduate students connected a team of international experts in ecohydrology from 11 different countries in the halls of Ettersburg Castle in Weimar, Germany this fall for an Ecohydrology Workshop.

GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES Ocean Rocks! Associate Professor Jessica Warren showed off shrunken objects and rocks found at the bottom of the seafloor as part of her  Ocean Rocks! exhibit at Coast Day .  Graduate students from across UD worked with Holly Michael and other collaborators to present the first of three water-focused symposia .  Students on the committee include DENIN Environmental Fellows, members of the Water Science and Policy Program, and students from three of UD’s colleges.

MARINE SCIENCE & POLICY Empowering an Industry UD, in partnership with the Energy and Climate Academy of Denmark, unveiled the first Offshore Wind Skills Academy in the United States designed for professionals and managers seeking to enter the industry .   Aaron Carlisle, assistant professor in marine biosciences, discussed his role in a study that took place during his doctoral and postdoctoral work at Stanford University. Carlisle helped lead the tagging and tracking efforts of the salmon shark — one of 14 species included in the paper.

DELAWARE SEA GRANT Over the summer, Delaware Sea Grant continued its efforts to place students in internships to provide valuable professional development experience. Chris Grasso spent his summer sampling bodies of water throughout Delaware as part of his DESG-funded summer research internship... ... while Emily Ruhl helped the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays with outreach and educational programming.
