Previous “Particles in Europe” meetings have been fantastic collegiate events for sharing insights into all things suspended particles. Really looking forward to this next slice of PiE :)
Join the PiE community October 3rd-5th 2023 at HCMR Thalassocosmos complex, in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. Co-Organizers: Sequoia Scientific, Inc. & HCMR Hellenic Centre for Marine Research.
Abstract submission is OPEN!

@PlymUni MSc #Hydrography project students getting hands-on testing micro-AUV navigation capabilities within @SmartSoundPlym using @sonardyne USBL
👇🏼really highlights the opportunity for more more wind generation in the south west - it’s not like the energy source was is short supply yesterday…
On Thursday #wind generated 51.2% of British electricity, more than gas 22.5%, nuclear 14.7%, imports 4.9%, biomass 4.0%, hydro 1.8%, solar 0.6%, coal 0.1%, other 0.0% *excl. non-renewable distributed generation
Sweltering day out on @PlymUni @RVFalconSpirit testing instruments and collecting @MarineSciPlym student project data - great teamwork with @SchwarzJill, @oceansciencetec, skippers & students
Blue skies over South Dartmoor. Number of other people outside enjoying it - zero… not that I’m complaining!

Gorgeous weather and slick teamwork by @RVFalconSpirit @oceansciencetec staff and @PlymUni @MarineSciPlym students made for rapid recovery of our current meter bedframes this morning!
Great to be out today on @PlymUni small workboat Dolphin - testing a newly developed profiling instrument. It’s a fantastic vessel used to support @MarineSciPlym student projects too.
Or it’s just that the water is smooth nearer the ship and there is haze obscuring the true horizon... significant refraction would likely lead to greater distortion of the image.
Great day of filming on @PlymUni Wavedancer to support our @MarineSciPlym teaching - thanks to @ChiefoBanjo for catching skills, @oceansciencetec and skippers Chris & Chris!
Friday evening after another week of #homeschooling, but knowing it’s now #halfterm be like

Thank you @Star_Rapid for the cool personalised bottle opener - an amazing demo of your 3D metal print capability! Now just need some beer to go with it...
On #CTDAppreciationDay it’s also worth highlighting the OpenCTD project oceanographyforeveryone.com/ that is making these fundamental measurements more accessible.
CTDs are not just Rosettes! Here we used a @SeaBirdScience CTD to provide context for turbulence measurements recorded above the seabed from a hydraulic platform using PIV. Another key sensor was a toilet brush vane to check orientation to the tidal flow! #CTDAppreciationDay
#CTDAppreciationDay CTDs are not just Rosettes! Here we're recording C, T, D (and many other parameters) @ 1024Hz to measure millimetre-scale water structure directly beneath sea ice.
Hey @ValeportLtd - the turbulence geek in me is just loving your homepage background! Where’s that from?

Awesome to see this fantastic upgrade to your long-serving platforms!
@PlymouthMarine today received our new L4 buoy. Autonomous profiling capability will enhance the #westernchannelobservatory and this large state-of-the-art platform will provide trails and validation of advanced marine technologies through @SmartSoundPlym.

Fantastic to be back out this week teaching underwater optics to @MarineSciPlym and @MBERC_PlymUni @PlymUni students on @RVFalconSpirit #handsonlearning #WearAMask
