\n The president of the OSU chapter of Tau Beta Pi\, Warren Gray\, invites the College of Engineering’s faculty to a light reception with cake and punch to honor and encourage pre-professional school\n stud ents in the COE who have exhibited academic excellence. The reception is ho sted by the OSU chapter of Tau Beta Pi in conjunction with the COE Office o f Undergraduate Programs. Professors who\n are past members of Tau Beta Pi or are interested in becoming involved are encouraged to attend.\n
\n\n If you plan to attend\, e-mail Warren Gray (graywa@onid.orst.e du) by January 9th at 5 pm..\n

\n\n Development and testing of real-time models for wave-driven processes along the Southern California shoreline will be desc ribed. Waves in southern California are monitored with a network of\n di rectional wave buoys\, and nowcast and forecast with 1-hr time steps and 10 0-m alongshore resolution http://cdip.ucsd.edu/. Wave energy levels vary al ongshore\, depending both on shadowing from\n remotely generated swell b y offshore islands and refraction by local depth contours. On most beaches\ , the most energetic waves are from winter North Pacific storms\, although some beaches are more\n exposed to southern swell. I will outline Team C DIP's work coupling the regional wave network to simple models for wave-dri ven surfzone currents\, beach sand level changes\, and more. Model\n cal ibration and failure mode definition are ongoing.\n
\n\n S ponsored by the Miles Lowell and Margaret Watt Edwards Endowment\, College of Engineering.\n
\n\n Seminar begins at 4:00\, followed by social and refreshments at 5:00.\n
