About the Book

This is the third installment of Gary Griggs' very popular bi-weekly"Our Ocean Backyard" column that appears in the Santa Cruz Sentinel. The book includes four and a half years of ocean articles that were published between 2018 and 2023. Gary's stories, which draw upon our rich history of ocean exploration and discovery, are written for anyone with an interest in the oceans - not just in Monterey Bay or the central coast - and shed much needed light on what we can expect in the years and decades to come.

About the Author :
Gary Griggs is Distinguished Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of California Santa Cruz. An expert in coastal geology and oceanography, Gary is a frequent contact for news and media for questions relating to climate change, sea-level rise, and coastal erosion. He has authored or coauthored fourteen books, including Living with the Changing California Coast, Coasts in Crisis, and California Catastrophes. He is Chair of the Ocean Sciences Trust, has served on several National Academy of Science Committees, received numerous awards for his work as an educator and scientist, and has the distinction of being the only scientist to be named a Coastal Hero by the California Coastal Commission and Sunset Magazine.

Review :
"I marvel at Gary's ability to relate complex situations in an understandable form for lay people - and in a way that holds their interest. It is obvious why he has been a successful and much-loved teacher for over five decades. It is a great thing that many of his columns now appear in one place, available to an even wider audience." - John Laird Former California Secretary of Resources "Gary is the epitome of excellence in teaching. He shares not only his knowledge but also his passion and himself with his students, with boundless generosity . . . He has been a blessing to the campus, to our profession, and to each and every one of us who had the privilege of studying with him." - Dr. Kathryn D. Sullivan Former NOAA Administrator, NASA Astronaut (retiired) and UCSC graduate
