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
Shari Gallop, Charlie Thompson and Ivan Haigh have been funded by SCOPAC (Standing Conference on Problems Associated with the Coastline; http://www.scopac.org.uk/) and the Southern Coastal Group (http://www.southerncoastalgroup.org.uk/) to investigate sediment transport pathways offshore of Poole and Christchurch Bays in The Solent, UK. They plan to focus on Dolphin Bank and Dolphin Sand that are approximately 10… Read More SCOPAC grant awarded for sediment transport study
During June and July 2012, Dr Charlie Thompson and Mr Hachem Kassem, from the Geology and Geophysics Research Group, participated in the Hydralab IV, EU funded Barrier Dynamics Experiment (BARDEX II), at the Delta Flume Facility in the Netherlands. The overall aim of the project was to collect prototype data set on sandy beaches to improve… Read More The Barrier Dynamics Experiments 2
