Deploying a #wavebuoy or using #waves #marinedata for #marinescience? See these new Australian guidelines prepared by Jeff Hansen @uwaoceans and myself @UON_research for the @ARDC_AU project "Catching Oz Waves" with @IMOS_AUS @UTAS_ @nswenviromedia 🌊🤓🔍https://t.co/5RBetd784P

Honoured to lead with my good friend Paul D @nswenviromedia a tour of the spectacular #AusQuaternary barrier-estuary systems & geological wonders from @CityNewcastle to @PSCouncil for the Joint National Coast to Coast & NSW Coastal Conference #nswcoastalconference @UON_research

[Mike Kinsela @MikeKinsela]

Terrific opening keynote on shaping better coastal futures for people and environment alike by @Uni_Newcastle star @DrHannahPower to kick off the Joint National Coast to Coast & NSW Coastal Conference hosted by @CityNewcastle & @AustCoastalSoc. #nswcoastalconference @UON_research

Congratulations to the organisers and contributors of the 4th @AusYCSEC - Young Coastal Scientists & Engineers Conference. Amazing few days of next gen coastal research and translating it to shape a better future. Check it out: 🌏 https://t.co/TG2cnhusbq #AusYCSEC @UON_research

1400+ #CoastSnap images submitted by global community in July!

Highlights:
- new stations Sunshine Beach (Aus) & Santa Barbara (USA)
- monitoring sargassum at Puerto Morelos (Mex)
- new signage at #CoastSnapFourMile (Aus)
- a "summers day" at St Cyrus (Scot)

@DocHarleyMD @UNSWWRL Ooh that is a beauty, well done both!

[Mike Kinsela @MikeKinsela]

@SarahMac485 Nice one! What water depth did you deploy in? Looks like some fascinating geomorphology there. You might find this of use - https://t.co/5RBetd784P

While we’ve had devastating river floods in Australia in recent years, it is startling to imagine these islands completely drowned by storm surge and waves during big hurricanes, as the Ike 2008 water level record plaques show around Galveston town.

[Mike Kinsela @MikeKinsela]

En route to #CoastalSediments2023 I had my first US barrier islands experience, traversing Follett’s, famous Galveston & Bolivar Peninsula in Texas. Despite reading about such settings throughout my career I was still shocked at how low and flat they are, and at the development!

[Mike Kinsela @MikeKinsela]

@BrittRaubenhei1 @DocHarleyMD Thanks Britt! And a huger congratulations to you and Hans too!!

[Mitchell Harley @DocHarleyMD]

It was a tremendous honour to be awarded with @MikeKinsela the inaugural Coastal Achievement Award at the #CoastalSediments2023 conference in New Orleans this week 1/4

[University of Newcastle @Uni_Newcastle]

Our students are sea-ing science up close with experience working in the field and learning about coastal processes with @DrHannahPower and @MikeKinsela 🌊

Brilliant performance last night from @JosephTawadros, James Tawadros and the @A_C_O in the @Merrigong #Wollongong Town Hall. #Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with a Middle Eastern flavour, mixed with assorted Tawadros oud and riq delights - yum!

[Mike Kinsela @MikeKinsela]

New #CoastSnap stations at my new locals #BarBeach & #Merewether are growing community awareness of our dynamic coasts & help Novocastrians map beach change through time. And right on time for @surfest! Well done @CityNewcastle @nswenviromedia @UNSWWRL https://t.co/5XZPmHRErG

[Mike Kinsela @MikeKinsela]

@CoastalProf @ebgoldstein Yep our tech staff did a real nice job on them - very handy having a 3D print pro in your team 😃

[Mike Kinsela @MikeKinsela]

Great weekend with @Uni_Newcastle 2nd-years on #coastalgeology field work! Chasing #sand through sedimentary environments & time: modern #beach & #estuary, #Quaternary sand barriers, and Palaeozoic #shoreface. Comparing #Instagrain sandcam grain size data & #sediment lab analysis

[Mike Kinsela @MikeKinsela]

I’m very flattered to receive the new Coastal Achievement Award at #CoastalSediments2023 conference with my famous colleague @DocHarleyMD for our work developing #CoastSnap community beach monitoring - communities understanding dynamic and changing coasts https://t.co/8v3bUY6GV8

[Jen Miselis @geocoastjen1]

We will also present the NEW Coastal Achievement Award which recognizes spectacular contributions to #coastalscience by individuals or groups. The first award will go to @DocHarleyMD and @MikeKinsela, founders of #CoastSnap

[Mike Kinsela @MikeKinsela]

What a treat the cyclone swell has been for teaching @Uni_Newcastle senior level #CoastalProcesses field trip with @DrHannahPower this week! Huge #waves textbook beach state evolution, #erosion scarps, #runup deposition, and reflective #beaches with overhead++ barrels! 💨🌊🏖️📚
