Another successful @PlymUni seagrass survey on the Yealm with @ValeportLtd VA500. Third year of annual monitoring. USV Yellow Pig still doing us proud. New deep learning tools under development with @HSurv & @innovateuk. Thanks @Plymmartech & Adam Bolton

Great to spend an afternoon ‘face-to-face’ with our outgoing MSc Hydrography students. Ferry-pub-walk-pub-ferry seemed to be a good combo! We look forward to welcoming our new cohort in two weeks!! ⁦@MarineSciPlym⁩ ⁦@PlymUni⁩

Weather improved for some late afternoon surf zone GPS drifter deployments @UoP_CPRG @PlymUni
Bracing weather during May deployment on #crantock. We are measuring the effect of flows associated with a small estuary on #ripcurrents on this sometimes hazardous beach as part of @SW_EEP project. Good to see full compliment of @UoP_CPRG members helping out. @PlymUniResearch

It turns out wave directionality in the UK and Ireland, that controls beach rotation, is well described by leading atmospheric indices throughout all coasts. Advances in seasonal forecasting of these indices may open doors to skillful long range predictability.
What governs the directional wave climate of UK and Ireland? Read all about it in @UoP_CPRG latest paper in @EarthsFutureEiC, led by @drtimscott and in collaboration with @BrunoCastelle and the @metoffice: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…. Open Access! @MarineSciPlym @PlymUniResearch

Testing fully remote USV ops from @PlymUni Marine Station. DTC radio comms via our Rame Head station still booming in at 10km offshore...great success @Plymmartech. Ready for new Applied Marine Autonomy MSc module starting next year! @MarineSciPlym @MBTCentre
