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.

@UoP_CPRG @UoP_CMAR rip drifter team on #kogel beach #capetown. @TimPoate is not really that big! @MarineSciPlym

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

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 🌊🌊 🔗 https://t.co/Rhbq5WPa8P @NDSurfReserve

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 preprint discussion at https://t.co/gLgoAbx0lE

Incredible images

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

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

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

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

Sea-level rise is inevitable. We need to adapt to avoid the greatest harm: https://t.co/oTL2DAncnQ

"Sell low, buy high" maybe a catchphrase we might start to hear more in the UK.

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

HRH The Princess Royal visits our Marine Station and joins researchers and students on board the University's research vessel https://t.co/URA2qa26TK

Great to spend the day walking the coast with some of our new @PlymUni MSc Hydrography students for this year. A lovely bunch and Plymouth scenery at its best! @MarineSciPlym

Another successful @PlymUni seagrass survey on the Yealm with @ValeportLtd VA500. Third year of annual monitoring. USV Yellow Pig still doing us proud. New deep learning tools under development with @HSurv & @innovateuk. Thanks @Plymmartech & Adam Bolton
