Red Ride is a word based game, where you can choose your own path and journey. It takes inspiration from the kid story "Little Red Riding Hood," but adds a choose your own adventure element to it. You will play as "Red" the protagonist of the story, where there is a possibility of 5 different endings, the goal is to get to grandma's house. For those wanting to see childhood stories come to life.

.This study of continental rifting in the Gulf of California has two aims: 1. To better understand the tectonic evolution of the Gulf of California, and 2. To gain insight into continental rifting processes. The combination of seismic reflection and refraction techniques provides a robust method to analyze crustal structure, allowing for the amount, style, and temporal evolution of continental extension over conjugate rifted margins to be assessed. Multi-channel seismic data spanning 600 km image basins created by upper crustal extension. These basins appear to have formed in two phases: an initial phase beginning at or near 14 Ma, forming large basins and a second phase beginning around 6 Ma forming smaller half-grabens. There is a reflective, ropey layer seen mantling basement along much of the transect; modeling of velocity-depth profiles in the upper crust show that this layer has a velocity of 2.5 km/s and is a few hundred meters thick. This layer is interpreted as the arc-related 20-11 Ma Comond'u formation, and its continuity across the Tamayo Bank and Trough suggests it was deposited either synchronous or after faulting of the Tamayo Trough. This provides compelling evidence for onset of NW-SE oriented extension in the Gulf before 11 Ma. Refraction data spanning an 881 km profile over conjugate rifted margins between the Baja peninsula and mainland Mexico were used to construct a seismic velocity model. This model shows that the crust has experienced an overall pure shear mode of extension and, on average, has thinned to half its original thickness. Estimated total opening across the southern Gulf of California is 495 km, indicating an alternative tectonic evolution characterized by oblique NW-SE extension and dextral slip in the Gulf since $\sim$14 Ma. Average lower crustal velocity of $\ sim$6.3 km/s on both margins indicates there was no large- scale magmatism during rifting, and significant Moho topography suggests brittle deformation of the whole crust and no lower crustal flow, indicating rifting of cold lithosphere. However, some magmatism is seen at the in the regions of greatest crustal thinning at the continent- ocean transition and allowed for the transition from rifting to seafloor spreading

Wave fields in the open ocean evolve according to the radiative transfer equation of wave energy or action, which has three source terms, wind input, non-linear wave- wave interactions, and dissipation. Of these, dissipation is thought to be the least well understood, but is expected to be dominated by wave breaking. This dissertation is an investigation of the physical processes associated with the wave breaking and dissipation. Data were taken during three field experiments on R/P FLIP. These experiments took place in September 2009 south of Hawaii (Radiance in a Dynamic Ocean experiment), off the coast of Northern California in June of 2010 (High Resolution Air-Sea Interaction experiment, HIRES), and in the Southern California bight in December 2010 (an extension of HIRES). Between the three campaigns, winds of 0 to 18 m/s and significant wave heights of 0.5 to 5 m were experienced. Stereo Long Wave Infra Red (LWIR) video cameras mounted on one of FLIP's booms were used to reconstruct the 3D structure of an approximately 3x4 m patch of sea surface. Using surface temperature structure as a passive tracer, pattern imaging velocimetry (PIV) was applied to consecutive video frames to extract the velocity field of this patch. An important statistic of breakers is [Lambda](c), the distribution of crest length per unit area of sea surface as a function of breaker velocity c. A new technique, based on image texture, was developed to track breaking waves on the stereo IR reconstructed surface. These waves ranged from large air- entraining breakers to micro breakers that would be undetectable in visible imagery. This allowed measurements of [Lambda](c) that also cover the high-wavenumber gravity wave spectrum. Stress (or wave momentum flux) and dissipation can be related to the fourth and fifth moments of [Lambda](c), and comparisons of these moments with wind stress and wave field dissipation showed that micro- breaking without air entrainment is dynamically significant. A new technique was developed, whereby irrotational surface waves can be separated from rotational turbulence using a Helmholtz decomposition. Turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation at the sea surface was then estimated using this rotational velocity field. Synchronized subsurface velocity measurements from an array of profiling pulse-coherent acoustic Doppler profilers allowed the calculation of the dissipation profile to depths O(10) significant wave heights. Tying surface and subsurface measurements together allows estimation of total TKE dissipation in the surface wave zone of the marine boundary layer. Turbulence measurements were supported by wind and wave data, allowing us to measure the wave coherence of TKE dissipation and relate it to wind and wave conditions, especially wave breaking
