Recently, several news outlets picked up Blum Center erosion expert Dr. Brett Sanders’ and co-authors’ new publication on predicting the movement and flow of sand among southern California beaches.

Such data is going to be incredible valuable to decision makers planning replenishment projects who need to ensure funds are put into projects that will have the most benefit.
