Dr. Anne! Last Friday was the perfect ending to my PhD research. I'm very proud of everything I achieved during the last four years! Thanks for all the lovely messages and support

MODEX, last day: we show ripples developing on our final experimental mound!! The experiments are done, everyone is home (or almost home), and from now on...look out for awesome results from the crazy amount of data we collected!! #FlumeFriday #hydralabplus #modex #byefornow

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

Snapshots of the evolution of the mound with combined waves and currents! The mound migrates downstream and spreads latterly. Diffusion! Look at those beautiful ripples! #HydralabPlus #MODEX #RipplesRule #SedimentTransport #Science @StuartMcLelland @GoPro @OregonStateCCE

MODEX day 29: Busy with final #experiments testing waves and currents. So much more to explore and investigate.. As quick comparison we show 3 laser scan maps after tests with Waves, Currents and Waves&Currents combined. #Thankyou @EU_Commission @NWO_TTW #PADI_foundation

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

What better way to celebrate #WorldOceansDay by showing a glimpse on how currents and waves move sand on the seafloor!! Important to learn about for the safety and ecology of our coast and 🌍 as a whole. A @GoPro movie of the @hydralabplus experiment @TotEnvSimulator #FlumeFriday

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

MODEX day 27: 🤔 Wondering what happens at night at the @TotEnvSimulator we installed a @GoPro camera. The result is a nice movie of the mound morphology with bedforms as the water drains. @hydralabplus #ACCESS

'Everybody likes big ripples.'
'That sounds like a 90's rap song.'
'...'
'I like big ripples and I cannot lie...'

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

Modex Day 26: small waves and currents combined reveal a mix of bedforms and deformations of the mound! #LevelAndRerun #GoOrbital #sciencepivotting #stillgoingstrong @TotEnvSimulator @hydralabplus

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

We definitely meant to say 'lunate'. @hychenjulia is tired from data collection ><

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

MODEX Day 25: Today, we learned what linguloid and luna ripples are! See two end states of two different experiments -- can you tell which is which? #modex #hydralabplus #geologyrocks #wavesandcurrents #doubletrouble #DataDay

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

MODEX day 23: Millions of @FARO_HQ Laserscanning points say more than 280 characters. Toggling between a sideview of our mound before and after an experiment in @CloudCompareGPL. #Laserscan #screenshotfriday #FlumeFriday 👇

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

MODEX day 23: A nice overview of what currents can do on submerged mounds. First results from our @hydralabplus runs at the @TotEnvSimulator in Hull. Next to deformation of the mound we see these beautiful ripple patterns emerge. #FlumeFriday #sandscaping #SmallRipplesBigImpact

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

MODEX day 23: What a difference between the development of our mound for waves or currents! We ran currents only this week and saw ripples slowly migrating. Accelerated movie through the side of the @TotEnvSimulator flume below! #FlumeFriday #RippleMigration #Science #access

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

MODEX DAY 21: First day of flow only. We moved away from orbital ripples to big dune-like bedforms! Working hard to get our 2 MarineElectronics 3D sonar scanners to map these features! #TaPantaRei #DinnerTableProcessing

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

MODEX DAY 20: Preparing for flow measurements so lots of #levelling today! Mostly levelling of ripples in the 12 by 6 m @TotEnvSimulator. Interesting to compare the final ripple morphologies between the tests. Three different wave conditions, three different photos! #RippleRuler

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

MODEX Day 19: And because we like our @GoPro movies, here's a nice comparison of the ripples generated at the @TotEnvSimulator during our first two tests. How much would these bedforms contribute to the overall behaviour of the mound 🔍??? #FlumeFriday #RippleVolcano #ACCESS

[MODEX Team @MODEX_Hull]

MODEX Day 19: Time to observe spreading of sand with large waves 🧐! Nice overview of our wave experiments in the @TotEnvSimulator of @UniOfHull. Big differences in evolution of the mound in our #FirstQuicknDirtyAnalysis ! #FlumeFriday #ACCESS @hydralabplus

[Stuart McLelland 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 @StuartMcLelland]

Lots of #data collection during @MODEX_Hull @hydralabplus #ACCESS experiments
