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-dev…

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/ar… preprint discussion at essd.copernicus.org/preprint…

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 – at Maldives

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 – at Maldives

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

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

Some intensive @UoP_CPRG survey activities over past weeks led by @drtimscott for @NERCscience @BLUEcoastUK project. Conditions allowed multibeam-backscatter data to be collected at shoreline of #slapton gravel beach, revealing wave ripples right up to the step. @MarineSciPlym

Recovery of SW England beaches after the 2013/14 extreme #storm winter reported in PhD Kat Konstantinou's paper in Geomorphology - free download here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1dHFi…. Example below shows Perranporth (RSP = storm response; RCV = recovery; OVL = overall change). @UoP_CPRG

Ever wondered what happens to the sand from our beaches after a big storm? Does it ever come back? We looked at beach recovery since the extreme winter storms of 2013/14 and what we found was quite surprising... authors.elsevier.com/c/1dHFi…
