Great piece from @Jamienzherald about our coastal change mapping undertaken as part of the @ResilienceNSC 1/5 thttps://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/eroding-nz-new-maps-reveal-where-our-coasts-are-crumbling-fastest/OMWZHTQFQZHHPGDDWBBZPICCCE/
I'm thrilled to share this recently published paper (by myself, Mark Dickson, @emmajeanryan, @mfordNZ, @DanHikuroa) and express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who have supported me throughout this journey!

Fantastic first research trip to Tonga with Masters student Kira Brereton. Beautiful reef flats off Nuku’alofa! Thanks to Tongan locals and Departments for your support and knowledge
Dr. Emma Ryan and Kira Brereton from @EnvUoA liaised with staff from the @TongaGeology@TongaR2R Ministry of Fisheries and @CSFTonga on the research survey on Pacific Coral Reef Growth and micro plastics in reef waters and sediments.

Our Coastal team is compiling a sequence of detailed snapshots of NZ's 15,000km coastline, to identify the rate of change & locate erosion hotspots.
Satellite images taken before & after Gabrielle reveal stark contrasts.

As part of the @ResilienceNSC with support from @EnvUoA we're releasing data used to map coastal change as a result of #CycloneGabrielle. Our portal is live, made with help from @Koordinates. There will be several updates this week, pre storm lines etc. https://t.co/V98fH0LCld
Scientists are using high-resolution satellite imagery to observe how Gabrielle has changed the face of our landscapes and coastlines. I talked to @nathanaelmelia and @mfordNZ https://t.co/HxwXD52aek
I talked to @AucklandUni's Prof Mark Dickson about what further damage Gabrielle is likely to do our coasts, where many seacliffs are already destabilised and beaches - our natural defence systems - face the cyclone with depleted sand volumes https://t.co/IoTmEvYmw5
Congrats to Ben Collings @EnvUoA on his 1st paper as part of his @ResilienceNSC funded PhD. In this paper he outlines an approach to coastal landcover mapping using SAR and optical satellite data. First step in developing tools for mapping coastal change. https://t.co/6VCGi8wYR0
We're partnering with @DeepSouth_NZ to bring you 'Living at the water's edge: Climate-safe ground for papakāinga and coastal communities', an online kōrero with Marama Pohatu (Muriwhenua Inc), @AkuhataBailey @waikato & @TomMLogan@UCNZ.
