Congratulations to Carter Beaulieu for publishing his Masters work on particle tracking in the Chowan River. Carter was advised by Dr. Qianqian Liu during his time at UNCW and absorbed so much about numerical modeling, Lagrangian dynamics and HABs. Carter’s work shows several sensitivities of particles released in the Chowan River to release location, and both wind and discharge characteristics. Check out the paper here.
I also want to shout-out Carter’s easy going and excited-to-learn personality. He helped out with several of our mooring deployments around Frying Pan Shoals, also won a best poster presentation award, passed the FE exam and of course played stout defense for the UNCW soccer team! On a separate note, I did visit the Chowan River once….on a weekend without HABs. It was lovely!
