SUMMARY:🧤 Volunteer: Catch the King Data Collection Event!
DESCRIPTION:Catch the King is an annual community science initiative that mobilizes volunteers to map the extent of tidal flooding during perigean spring tides\, also known as “king tides.” These tides represent the highest astronomical tides of the year\, occurring when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun align\, and the Moon is at its closest approach to Earth (perigee). \nParticipants in the event use a mobile app that collects location-based data points along the water’s edge at peak high tide. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s a King Tide\, Anyway?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis crowdsourced data collection effort contributes to high-resolution mapping of tidal inundation areas\, providing valuable empirical data for hydrodynamic modeling and flood forecasting!

SUMMARY:🧤Volunteer Opportunity: Assist with Drone Work on Cobb Island
DESCRIPTION:The VCR LTER is looking for 1 or 2 volunteers who are able to assist with drone work on Cobb Island March 10-13. This work is a unique opportunity to see both North and South Cobb Island in their current separated forms. \n\nThis fieldwork will be long days on the island\, but not too physically draining.  If everything goes smoothly\, we may not be going out all four days.\nYou may sign up for one or more days. You must be available for the entire time. As of now\, the schedule is 7:30am- 4pm\, but this timeframe may shift.\nYou would be helping our student by walking around the island to install ground control points and then help keep an eye on the drone during flights.\nPack plenty of water and snacks\, since you will be out on Cobb the whole time.\nNote that bathroom access is limited to the boat ramp restrooms and the island itself.\nNo one will be getting wet\, but there will be a potentially chilly ride out there depending on the weather\, so we always recommend lots of layers (i.e. long sleeve + fleece + windbreaker or coat).\nFootwear is person-dependent on the island. Some wear old sneakers\, others wear tall boots\, and others wear hiking boots. If you are unsure of what to wear\, volunteers can always borrow workboots that we have at the CRC.\n\nPlease sign up HERE and reach out to Sophia Hoffman pbe8et@virginia.edu with any questions. \n\n\n\nLog your hours under Better Impact Category Category 23.
