- USGS California Water Science Center Projects: San Francisco Bay Hydrodynamics: This project conducts studies that specifically assess the influence the water projects have on flow patterns in the Delta. This project not only investigates the influence that reservoir releases, gate operations, barrier placements, and exports have on the Delta, but also places these changes in the context of natural modes of variability such as the tides, unregulated river flows, and meteorological influences.
- San Francisco Bay and Delta Watershed and Estuary Modeling: As part of the CASCaDE project (Computational Assessments of Scenarios of Change for the Delta Ecosystem), we are adapting and developing hydrologic, hydrodynamic, and biological models of the Bay-Delta watershed and Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. These represent only 2 of 7 modeling components (from climate to clams and fish) that will be linked with the goal of forecasting future states of the Delta ecosystem under prescribed scenarios of change induced by factors such as global warming, water and ecosystem management, land use, and earthquakes.

- Stanley Grant | U. Cal. Irvine | The Henry Samueli School of Engineering: Dr. Grant studies the sources, fate, and transport of pathogens and indicator organisms in drinking water, urban runoff, and the coastal ocean. He is a member of the US Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board (Drinking Water Panel), and is the lead on several multidisciplin ary research projects, including one on the influence of tidal wetlands on coastal pollution (joint with researchers from UC Irvine, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and UCLA, funded by the University of California Marine Council); another on the association of pathogens and particles in storm runoff (joint with researchers from UCI and UCSB, funded by the US Geological Survey and the National Water Research Institute); and a third on the contribution of marinas to fecal indicator bacteria impairment in tidal embayments (in support of the Newport Bay Fecal Coliform TMDL, funded by the California State Water Quality Control Board).

- http://www.uta ta.org/project /uppj6/item/56 0824521/: About a year ago I was going through some old negatives and came across some that I had taken 15 or so years ago. These were of the Sea Forts located in The Thames Estuary off the North Kent coast.
