  1. #WellsME - Eyes on the #Estuary: A Visit to the Research Marsh

    Explore current field research projects happening along the trail and out on the #SaltMarsh !

    Thursday, August 6, 2026, 10:00am – 12:00pm
    Cost: Free with Admission

    "As visitors to the Wells Reserve explore the natural beauty along the trails, a group of scientists are working in the background to better understand these important #ecosystems. On this guided walk, we will dive deeper into these ongoing research projects to learn about the impacts of invasive plant and crab species, restoration of the endangered New England Cottontail, and participate in hands-on water quality monitoring.

    "This program is about 1.75 hours and covers about 1 mile round trip. Much of the walk will be out on the salt marsh so close-toed shoes/boots that can get a little wet or muddy and long pants are recommended. This program is geared towards adult audiences, but is open to interested participants as young as middle school.

    "Your guide, Gail, is a retired marine biologist and high school science teacher and current #WellsReserve volunteer. "

  3. Quantifying UK Coastal Flood Exposure Under Future Sea-Level Rise To [2100 and] 2300

    “🌊 New research on long-term coastal flooding as a result of climate inaction 🌊
    … The researchers found:
    🔷 By 2100 at least an additional 0.5 million people exposed to the 1-in-200 year undefended flood extent - a 25% increase compared to present day.
    🔷 Under the most pessimistic storyline by 2300 involving significant ice-sheet instability, an additional 13 million people could be exposed to the 1-in-200 year undefended flood event.
    🔷 Under some scenarios there is a need for large-scale movement of populations and settlements away from the coast in the coming centuries…”

    “Up to 13 million people in the UK face the long-term risk of coastal flooding due to the climate crisis, scientists have warned, with a ‘reasonable worst-case scenario’ suggesting the need for the large-scale movement of populations away from a dramatically reshaped coast…
    Sea level has risen by about 20cm around the UK in the last century and is accelerating. A further 40cm to 60cm by 2100 is already baked in, meaning about half a million more people will be at risk of their homes being flooded, on top of the 2.5 million already in danger near the coasts. Lincolnshire and the Humber estuary are most in danger…”

    “The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment report highlighted the potential for more than 15 metres of global sea-level rise by 2300. In this study, [the authors] explore the implications for UK coastal flood exposure by combining national-scale flood modelling with physically-based storylines of UK sea-level rise. By 2100 all storylines show broadly similar results with at least an additional ½ million people exposed to the 1-in-200 year undefended flood extent, which represents a 25% increase compared to present day. Under the most pessimistic storyline by 2300 involving significant ice-sheet instability, an additional 13 million people could be exposed to the 1-in-200 year undefended flood event. This would imply the potential need for large-scale movement of populations and settlements away from the coast in the coming centuries. Given current global emissions pledges, exposure increases by 1.7 million people by 2300, however up to 1 million could be avoided if Paris Agreement targets for greenhouse gas emissions are met…”

Grab a free cupcake to celebrate the popular water shuttle's second birthday on July 31, at 11:45 a.m. It’s a double celebration because the City announced that Woodstock will continue sailing across the estuary through at least June 2028!

  7. I got a new preprint out talking about the impact of heatwaves (and warming in general) on the sediment biogeochemistry of temperate estuaries. Short version: it may contribute to eutrophication.

  13. Two different footpath trails - leading out from the native plant garden. The rock steps trail leads to the short boardwalk that connects to a dock, over the lake, that has seating. The gravel path leads you to the lake loop trail, across the wetlands/marshes (prime frogs/turtles spotting area), over a long boardwalk that connects one side of the lake to the other. *In really rainy times - the trails on other side of lake get flooded out.
