I have a new PhD position now available investigating the role of regional sediment connectivity in coastal resilience https://t.co/AxMqk0mmLZ
Involves extensive inner shelf data collection throughout the Cornish coast using autonomous platforms, lab work and novel data analysis.

Amazing news: North Devon @ndsurfreserve recognised as the 12th World Surf Reserve. An international designation recognising the areas outstanding quality surfing beaches bringing together community and experts in actions to protect them. https://t.co/Wup09BmtVh

[University of Plymouth @PlymUni]

Enabling North Devon to become the UK’s first World Surfing Reserve 🏄‍♀️

The University has played a key role in the region being recognised for the quality of its waves and its thriving blue economy 🌊🌊

A nice animation showing the bi-modal #wind climate of the #Maldives using 20 years of measured wind data. Interestingly the shift in wind direction due to the #monsoon happens really abruptly, over just 15-20 days.

An early start to capture HW at #Penzance this morning as part of #CreamT project with @Wirewall_NOC and #B_Scan getting very wet. Should be an excellent dataset for improving @Coastal_Hazards @SW_EEP forecast. #StormEunice @PlymUni

How lucky are we to work with #Landsat imagery in #Australia?!
a reviewer (Floris Calkoen) on a recent submission rightly pointed out how uneven the coverage of the #Landsat archive is, see figure below from https://t.co/KNTHOtci2E

Tonga's Hunga Tonga volcano just had one of the most violent volcano eruptions ever captured on satellite.

We are taking 30 cm sediment cores of the atoll island and conduct permeability tests at the field station to quantify the hydraulic conductivity - essential for modelling overwash. Note fresh overwash in one of the pics. @UoP_CPRG @PlymUniResearch

Lagoon and ocean side of same island on SW side of Huvadhoo atoll in Maldives. So much sand at the back and so little at the front. @UoP_CPRG

@homodelphinius @UoP_CPRG @UoP_CMAR @Dr_Emma_Sheehan @DJIGlobal @QPSofficial @PlymUniResearch @governmentmv @MNUedu Yes, Agisoft with refraction correction. Low sun angle and overcast so minimal glare. Refraction correction applied in QPS Qimera.

[Coastal Marine Applied Research @UoP_CMAR]

Successful shallow water bathy survey from #UAV completed by @drtimscott with @DJIGlobal and @QPSofficial processing. Amazing clarity of spur and groove reef. @PlymUniResearch @UoP_CPRG @governmentmv @MNUedu

[Coastal Marine Applied Research @UoP_CMAR]

Will be combined with nearshore singlebeam bathy survey also completed to fully map the platform and reef edge for #XBeach SLR resilience modelling

[Coastal Marine Applied Research @UoP_CMAR]

A warm start to 2022 with @UoP_CPRG doing coral island research in the #Maldives with @MNUedu and @governmentmv. A change from the UK coastline #UAV #Bathy #GPS #ADV #ADCP

New paper by Josie Kirby reviews use of Coastal Change Management Areas for coastal adaption to climate change: https://t.co/lbYyZqYMdY. Conclusion: they very much under-used; not helped by inconsistent approaches to predicting future shorelines @UoP_CPRG @UoP_CMAR @MarineSciPlym

PhD opportunity to study abalone larval transport pathways in South Africa with @drtimscott @benthicecol @gmasselink @KitStokes72 & SA partners. SA fieldwork - role of surf zone currents in regional connectivity - sustainable aquaculture https://t.co/TltkLQdRU7 @UoP_CPRG @MBERC
