加州圣迭戈县 UC San Diego 研究绘制海岸悬崖侵蚀热点：机载激光雷达新法测算悬崖后退速率
位于加州圣迭戈县的加州大学圣迭戈分校（UC San Diego）于 10 月 29 日发布校园通讯，其中一项研究来自该校 Scripps 海洋研究所：研究人员利用新的机载激光雷达（lidar）数据，开发出测算加州海岸悬崖侵蚀速率的新方法，并识别出悬崖后退的热点区域。
同一期通讯还汇总了该校其他动态：一项与台积电（TSMC）合作的新计划将让学生进入洁净室，亲手操作制造计算机芯片的设备与工艺；新获联邦资助的医疗网络安全中心将开发工具，梳理医院关键网络的依赖关系并找出潜在漏洞。
校园事务方面，UC San Diego 的选民参与行动计划在州务卿办公室的评审中获得 400 分与「Exceptional（卓越）」评级；校方提醒选民在 11 月 3 日选举日前投票。文化栏目则介绍电影与媒体学者 Silpa Mukherjee 对上映 50 周年的电影 Carrie 的解读，探讨观众为何会同情片中的「反派」。
UC San Diego Researchers in San Diego County, California Map Coastal Cliff Retreat Hotspots with New Airborne Lidar Methods
UC San Diego, in San Diego County, California, reported on October 29 that researchers at its Scripps Institution of Oceanography have used new airborne lidar data to develop cutting-edge approaches to mapping the rate of California's eroding coastal cliffs, identifying hotspots for cliff retreat.
The same UC San Diego update covered a new partnership with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) that will give students hands-on experience with the equipment and processes used to make computer chips, and new federal funding for the Center for Healthcare Cybersecurity, which will develop tools to map critical hospital network dependencies and expose potential vulnerabilities.
On campus affairs, UC San Diego's civic and voter empowerment action plan received a score of 400 and an Exceptional rating in the California Secretary of State's review, and the campus reminded voters to cast ballots by Election Day on Tuesday, November 3. Its books and culture section featured film and media studies scholar Silpa Mukherjee on the 50th anniversary of the movie Carrie and why audiences root for its villain.
