Prof Carl L. Amos and PhD student Hachem Kassem, from the coastal processes research theme within Geology and Geophysics at NOCS/University of Southampton, have recently participated in a scientific field campaign in the Cabras Lagoon, Sardinia, Italy. The work was undertaken within RITMARE, the Italian National programme of scientific and technological marine research; through… Read More Fieldwork in Cabras Lagoon, Sardinia, Italy
A new paper led by G&G Research Fellow, Shari Gallop, has just been published in Marine Geology. The focus of the paper was on how the topography of coastal reefs drives alongshore variation in the mode and magnitude of erosion and accretion on a sandy beach in southwestern Australia. To achieve this, sub aerial beach surveys were… Read More The influence of coastal reefs on spatial variability in seasonal sand fluxes
The highlight of this year’s British Geophysical Association (BGA) Postgraduate Research in Progress meeting, hosted by the University of Cambridge, was undoubtedly the annual Bullerwell Lecture. The 2013 Bullerwell Lectureship (presented each year by the Royal Astronomical Society to ‘an outstanding, young British Geophysicist’) was awarded to Dr. Derek Keir, lecturer in Earth Science at the… Read More Bullerwell Lecture 2013 – Magmatism and deformation during continental breakup
As part of joint initiative with groups from the universities of Southampton, Keele, Portsmouth and Bournemouth, the National Oceanography Centre sent a group of four students (Emma Caven, Yasmin Labibi, Suzie Tooke, and Amelia Astley) to set up a pitch at this year’s science tent at Bestival, held on the Isle of Wight. The stand… Read More Bestival Science Tent
