Exploring Galveston

Today we traveled around Galveston to explore the different morphologies that can be seen. We went over to the seawall and Rick explained some of the history and the current state of erosion here in Galveston.



We performed some experiments to determine the wave height and the wave length of the incoming waves. We also calculated the speed of the longshore current. (pictures and video coming soon)

The group went onto one of the levees to look at its construction and makeup.
