We acknowledge the HSI grant, U.S. Department of Education Hispanic Serving Institution grant no. P031C160221 for funding the CURE Fellows program. We acknowledge the generous support of the Dune CURE by the University Research Opportunities Center and specifically acknowledge the support of Heather Haeger and Corin White in developing and assessing this CURE model. The long-term development of the dune research project and long-term data sets were substantially improved by Jon Detka, Gerick Bergsma, Eric Crandall, and Nathaniel Jue. We thank Amy Palkovic and superintendents at California Department of Parks and Recreation, Monterey District, for granting access to dunes in the region. And we thank the many, many instructors and students who collected and helped archive the dune data from the past 20 years.
