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.

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.

Two big #milestones reached for #CoastSnap today. On the CoastSnap App we just passed 25,000 images submitted since November 2020. Meanwhile we just installed 12 new stations, meaning that we now have over 250 CoastSnap stations worldwide in 24 countries!! #CitizenScience

Ben Boyd National Park on #NSW 's far south coast has been renamed as Beowa National Park, meaning ‘orca’ or ‘killer whale’ in Thaua language recognising the Aboriginal cultural heritage of the area. smh.com.au/national/nsw/shoc…
‘Shocking legacy’: Slave trader officially dumped from national park’s name

‘Shocking legacy’: Slave trader officially dumped from national park’s name

Ben Boyd National Park has been renamed Beowa amid the state government considering a plan to transfer land titles of all national parks to Aboriginal owners over the next 15 to 20 years.

We have reached 20,000 CoastSnaps on the #CoastSnap App! Its great to see contributions coming from all over the world, incl. community participants setting up their own monitoring program using the Do-It-Yourself feature. You can browse all photos at coastsnap.com

And that’s it! Our voyage on #RVInvestigator is over! 🥳😢👋🏻 We had 38 days on the ship & 36 at sea with 53 people on board. 🌊🛳 We did over 5300nm, got 17 cores, 16 dredges, 11 seismic lines, did a huge amount of #seafloor mapping, worked hard and had a blast! 💪🧑‍🔬🧑‍💻 🧵1/2

It’s our last full day on #RVInvestigator with demobilisation tomorrow! It’s gone unbelievably quickly!!😮🛳🌊 We still squeezed in some great #ScienceAtSea - two dredges & fab mapping while the huge cleanup & pack-up got underway! 🧹💪 Dolphins rounded out the day!!🐬🎥👇👇

We’re on the sprint to the finish line here on #RVInvestigator with under 48 hours remaining on board! 😟 Today was filled with a firey sunrise, two dredges and a core! Packing it in to the very end here!! #ScienceAtSea

It was a busy shift today for the night crew on #RVInvestigator with a very full #dredge coming on board just after start of shift. Huge shout out to the team who were total champs working through buckets and buckets of mud & rocks with good spirits & excellent singing! 💪🪨🌊🛳

We’ve had some less than calm weather for the past two days so we’ve had to adapt to conditions and change our plans for operations on #RVInvestigator. 🌊🛳🌊 So we’ve been mapping away in areas of sea floor that have never before been mapped in high resolution!

Today started with a #dredge with lots of great #seafloor samples! 🎥👇👇 We then transited north and have spent the day collecting #seismic on #RVInvestigator running up through a big #submarine #canyon. 📸👇 Only five full days left! How time flies!! 🛳🌊

Yesterday on #RVInvestigator started out with a CTD which measures ocean temperature & salinity, as well as currents through the full water column & ended with a piston core. 🛳🌊 Here are some of our fabulous #WomenInSTEM ready to head out and section up the core! 💪📷👇

A couple of major updates on the #CoastSnap App + website! The first is CUSTOM SITE NAMES, to make sites on the App easier to identify and add photos to. The second is a BULK DOWNLOAD function for community to use these images 1/2

It has been the most speccy day thus far on #RVInvestigator with glassy seas and a phenomenal sunrise! 🌅☀️ We had a great science talk on coastal shelf features by @MikeKinsela 👏 Perfect weather for collecting seismic data & the whales are keeping their safe distance! 🛳🌊🐋

We spent the best part of yesterday afternoon and last night dredging the continental slope on #RVInvestigator & came up trumps! Mud, sand, & very consolidated mud! 🥳 And despite the moody start to today, we’ve had a good run through the water for our seismic line! 👏🎉 🛳🌊
