From rapidly eroding cliffs, to secluded coves - a whistlestop tour of the East Riding of Yorkshire Coastal Monitoring Programme. @channelcoast

Out with the Channel Coastal Observatory today looking at our coastal monitoring programme. This fellow is fitted with a 360 degree laser scanner to build up a digital picture of our beaches & coastal defences - so look out for it at a beach near you! https://t.co/7GtB3QmKjY

A pleasure showcasing the work of the coastal group here at @unisouthampton https://t.co/SH9nPVxPkI

A truly great opportunity for anyone interested in shoreface sediment dynamics and mixed sediments. https://t.co/4fVHwLVVxC

@DrJello67 @unisouthampton Very well, a steady stream of interested people came to the stand, including a few who hadn't considered geology before hand.

@tjuthompson @blossomsquirrel Because everyone knows the youngest is the best. Otherwise why would our parents have had to keep trying....

[Charlie Thompson @DrCelt]

@tjuthompson Only if you can correctly identify the species.... Although I think you may get brownie points for reading your sisters papers ;-)

[Charlie Thompson @DrCelt]

@DrNatalieHicks I actually think it's a testament to the whole research group how well the whole thing came together. So thanks to my co-authors!!

[Charlie Thompson @DrCelt]

@DrNatalieHicks :-D the SSB paper did have some challenges!

[Charlie Thompson @DrCelt]

Two new papers on the same day!! Research on bed stability https://t.co/jYUzIyfIli and shelf seas biogeochemistry https://t.co/XpL5TiQTXa

@robbiej @_glitterworm There are at least some green things on this particular mud!

#BLUEcoastUK ADV recovery day on the Tillingham Marshes with @_glitterworm. Can't wait to see the data!

[Charlie Thompson @DrCelt]

Before, during and after erosion testing with @_glitterworm. We had some stowaways!! #FlumeFriday #BLUEcoastUK

[Charlie Thompson @DrCelt]

Visiting @ManMetUni, and checking out their steam evolution flume #flumefriday

@corinnebrunelle @Hachem_Kassem @anasannuar @U_INRS Can't wait!!! Soo excited to finally visit it in July @_glitterworm

@tjuthompson it's an acoustic doppler velocimeter (a profiling one) for measuring flow speed and turbulence. And it's very shiny :-D
