I have a new PhD position now available investigating the role of regional sediment connectivity in coastal resilience lnkd.in/gqB6mDRJ 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. surfingengland.org/north-devon-an…

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 🌊🌊 🔗plymouth.ac.uk/news/enabling-… @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 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… preprint discussion at essd.copernicus.org/preprints/essd…

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.

@UoP_CPRG @UoP_CMAR @Dr_Emma_Sheehan @drtimscott @DJIGlobal @QPSofficial @PlymUniResearch @governmentmv @MNUedu Workflow for SfM? Agisoft and pointcloud refraction correction?

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

@PlymUni PhD opportunity with great team @UoP_CPRG and @MBERC_PlymUni to study abalone larval transport pathways and connectivity in South Africa. Work in support of sustainable aquaculture. Deadline 12th Jan, apply online. plymouth.ac.uk/student-life/y… @UoP_CPRG @MBERC

Sea-level rise is inevitable. We need to adapt to avoid the greatest harm: plymouth.ac.uk/news/pr-opinio…

New paper by Josie Kirby reviews use of Coastal Change Management Areas for coastal adaption to climate change: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…. Conclusion: they very much under-used; not helped by inconsistent approaches to predicting future shorelines @UoP_CPRG @UoP_CMAR @MarineSciPlym
