Want to read about how SfM, UAV and terrestrial laser scanning can infer links between plant traits and morphological response?

Check the final paper of my PhD with @DrJulianLeyland published in @EGU_ESurf and the thread below for a short summary! 🌍#phd #uavs #geomorphology

Its been a great few days at #MATS24 hosted by @NOCsouthampton alongside @UoS_smmi, connecting with colleagues in industry and academia to promote the work we do and services we offer. ⛴️👋

Sometimes fieldwork can be tough, but some days it can be really rather glorious!

Great day out testing the Otter in some decent river flows and enjoying some Autumn sunshine as well.

[ES@S @EnvSenseSoton]

Last week we got out and about to demonstrate our Otter USV to the @EnvAgency, showcasing its ability to collect high quality data in a busy river channel.

Want to know more? Get in touch to see how we could help you on your project. 🛶🌅

Out in the field last week doing some baseline surveys for a Beaver reintroduction project, shall make an interesting timeline of data in years to come!

[ES@S @EnvSenseSoton]

Last week, we conducted ground & UAV surveys at the River Meon prior to beaver reintroductions at Meonside Farm aiming to boost biodiversity and strengthen the ecosystem! 🦫🌿

Looking for monitoring solutions for your own project? Talk to us!

Tough few days running around fields to collect this data but really worth it, preliminary outputs taking their time to run but looking great!

[ES@S @EnvSenseSoton]

Last week we teamed up with @DorsetWildlife for their restoration works at Lyscombe Farm🌿. We're providing 300+ hectares of baseline datasets from from UAV-based imagery and LiDAR to monitor the impact of their work. Stay tuned for updates! #Conservation #Restoration #UAV #LiDAR

@GeomorphicJosh @ParsnipsParsons Think every trip I've ever had I've been ChristopherMr, like how hard is it for them to see that's wrong!

[ES@S @EnvSenseSoton]

We had a fantastic time at the inaugural @SotonGeospatial Summer School, teaching data acquisition and processing.

If you're looking for training in data collection or processing, don’t hesitate to reach out🌍✨ #Geospatial #Workshop #DataScience #OpenSource

We're really happy about our initial tests of our Maritime Robotics Otter with Norbit multibeam. Find out more about how it went: https://t.co/MGzG04gPNq

Thank you to @unisouthampton FELS for putting on the Knowledge Exchange, Innovation and Enterprise Networking Event last week👏. We had a great time showcasing what we do!

For those still at #EGU24 and wanting to listen to some excellent talks and posters about fluvial systems, come and join us in D3 from 0830 for a full morning of talks followed by posters in hall X1 from 1615, see you there!! 🏞️🌍

[Josh Ahmed @GeomorphicJosh]

🚨🥳HAPPY FLUVIAL SYSTEMS DAY🥳🚨

Come and join us in D3 today from 0830 at #EGU24, you'll not be disappointed by the range of high quality presentations on all things #FluvialSystems!

Then, from 1615 in hall X1 come and see the best posters at the conference, guaranteed 💪

Headline- Rainfall for the last 6 months has been the wettest on record (going back to 1871)!

March alone received 142% of the long term average.

The March Water Situation Report, full of hydrometric data, is now available to read here 👇

For those at #EGU24 interested in sediment and geomorphology, come listen to me talk and discuss my research at Pico Spot 3 in session GI2.6 from 10:45 on global adcp calibrations for variability in SSC measurements 🌍🏞️

[Rebecca Hodge @rebeccahodge100]

At #EGU24? Come join us tomorrow morning to hear about exciting new research on sediment transport in all area of geomorphology! 10:45 am, PICO spot 3.

[Chris Tomsett @ChrisTomsett]

And into Vienna at 11! A very relaxed, stress free, and way more eco-friendly trip, would highly recommend! 🌍🚅 #train2egu

[Chris Tomsett @ChrisTomsett]

And so it begins, nice early start for our #train2egu

[Chris Tomsett @ChrisTomsett]

Final leg Vienna bound, enjoying rolling hills and settling in for the long haul!
