En route to #CoastalSediments2023 I had my first US barrier islands experience, traversing Follett’s, famous Galveston & Bolivar Peninsula in Texas. Despite reading about such settings throughout my career I was still shocked at how low and flat they are, and at the development!

While we’ve had devastating river floods in Australia in recent years, it is startling to imagine these islands completely drowned by storm surge and waves during big hurricanes, as the Ike 2008 water level record plaques show around Galveston town.

Our students are sea-ing science up close with experience working in the field and learning about coastal processes with @DrHannahPower and @MikeKinsela 🌊 📸 Environmental science student Alicia, (@AliJamMedia)
Two students are working on a science study on the sandy shores of a beach. One is writing on her notebook and the other is looking down the lens of equipments resting on a tall tripod. They are both wearing casual clothes and no shoes.

A man in black shorts and a blue shirt is holding a long measuring ruler as he watches 6 people in knee deep water at the beach on a sunny day. They have various equipment to help study coastal processes.

Brilliant performance last night from @JosephTawadros, James Tawadros and the @A_C_O in the @Merrigong #Wollongong Town Hall. #Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with a Middle Eastern flavour, mixed with assorted Tawadros oud and riq delights - yum!

New #CoastSnap stations at my new locals #BarBeach & #Merewether are growing community awareness of our dynamic coasts & help Novocastrians map beach change through time. And right on time for @surfest! Well done @CityNewcastle @nswenviromedia @UNSWWRL CoastSnap.com

Researchers from @Uni_Newcastle @Sydney_Uni created 3D visualisations of seafloor features around Australia, from a shipwreck to ancient dunes. These could be used to understand the threat of tsunami, or evidence of ancient beaches and dunes. bit.ly/3wmPmJd

From a shipwreck to ancient dunes, these researchers created 3D visualisations of seafloor features around Australia – from as shallow as 22 metres to depths of over 4.8 kilometres.

Up up and away! Great to get out to some beautiful tidal inlets last week with all the toys for @MaddyBroadfo's first #PhD data collection to investigate #estuary water level sensitivity to inlet morphology. Important knowledge for #coastalmanagement during #sealevelrise
