COASTAL EROSION: @uniofeastanglia, supported by NNDC, are installing state-of-the-art fibre optic ground sensing equipment in Sidestrand & Trimingham.
The ground sensing will measure processes that lead to coastal erosion & cliff collapse.

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

A must-watch, beautiful documentary giving a voice to people around the world impacted by #climateChange. New episode every day leading up to #COP26Glasgow where the future of our world how we know it will be decided. Watch it, get inspired, do your bit💙 youtu.be/Vx_P3q8w6VA

'A house by the coast may sound like a dream, but the prospect of your home falling into the sea is a nightmare' - insurance companies are starting to become interested in future coastal change: confused.com/home-insurance/…. Robust forecasting of future coastline is key! @UoP_CPRG

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!
The PCO team was busy yesterday installing a new CoastSnap site at Slapton. We are excited to start building our database here, so if any Citizen Scientist is near please take a snap and send it in!

We've converted all global topographic data available from OT to Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (@cogeotiff)! Programmatically access & process datasets like SRTM directly from the cloud. How? Check out this blog post & the linked Jupyter Notebook tutorial: opentopography.org/blog/prog…

Second trial of USV Piglet jetting through the waves at Wembury! 🌊 The low risk, tethered survey method has proven to work through the surf, with an additional self-righting foam top. Now time to build a bigger and better boat! 🚤 @OfficialPCO @Plymmartech @pu_cprg

We are looking for an outstanding PhD candidate to study how coral reef islands adapt to sea-level rise: aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships…. The PhD will be based in Plymouth and the research involves physical lab experiments, field survey in the Maldives and numerical modelling. @pu_cprg

Here is the up-to-date wave and sediment volume time series for #Perranporth beach (thanks Jak!). Monthly intertidal surveys carried out by @cprg. Did not realise that the 2019/2020 winter had almost as much impact as the notorious 2013/14 winter. @MarineSciPlym @PlymUniResearch

In the UK the number of cases rose rapidly.
But the public – and authorities – are only learning this now because these cases were only published now as a backlog.
The reason was apparently that the database is managed in Excel and the number of columns had reached the maximum.

fantastic #opensource toolbox by @matthew_conlin to rectify coastal imagery from surfcams using existing LiDAR datasets! conlin-matt.github.io/SurfRC… #coastal #remotesensing #openscience
Check out our new tool to help you transform existing surfcams in the U.S. (there are many!) into coastal monitoring tools! Read up about #SurfRCaT in our new pub in @SoftXJournal, and check it out on Github!

Lots of small #rockfalls along #Whitsands, south Cornwall. Probably not due to rainfall and/or high waves, but more likely due to the lack of rain and high temperatures, drying out the weathered rock and reducing internal cohesion. It's always something! @MarineSciPlym @pu_cprg
