Coastal science PhD researcher at Plymouth Uni; obsessed by the chaotic yet rhythmic relationship between waves and beaches, fueled by a love for surfing.

A recent paper in NCC claims almost half of the world's beaches will go extinct by 2100 (https://t.co/sJ6LZu4gzL). I was asked to comment on this paper for a Science publication, but after having received my comment, they decided not to pursue to story. I am sharing it here.

Scientists, read this short article warning about the destruction humanity is causing, and sign if you agree with it https://t.co/fKxAhM1dAz

Beautiful post 'real' Doris morning of S.Devon coast. Survey team out for winter bathymetry at Start Bay @BLUEcoastUK

#StormDoris has rapidly deepened over the last 24 hours as it has under gone what we call Explosive Cyclogenisis making it a #WeatherBomb

[Gerd Masselink @gmasselink]

#BLUEcoastuk welcomes storm Doris. Give us some nice waves, but don't thrash our kit.

There are now 12 severe warnings in place on the east coast. Severe warning means danger to life: https://t.co/Aqmr4z8WJy #floodaware

Great shot of the #Torcross seawall taken by Peter G using our UAV. Some recovery over summer, but long way to go to cover the foundations.

5 swimmers taken to Treliske Hospital, they were in trouble in sea at Holywell Bay. @BBCSpotlight

Attention to detail... No problem identifying our pallets in Chagos!

The weather played ball, making for a very pleasant survey at Slapton yesterday. Nice berm too.

Big swell and mixed weather greets us in Wales for WASP project fieldwork. Good 1st day #coastalresearch @PlymUniMI

I'm presenting @ the RGS conference in Exeter tomorrow (Perceived and Predicted Changes to Wave Conditions In the lee of Wave Hub) at 14:00

New paper predicting 3D beach morphology, linked to strong #RipCurrents and good #Surfing. @RNLI @sascampaigns

@BahaNick @Bitly I don't suppose you'd mind retweeting it now that the link works would you? Cheers again
