@UoP_CPRG #Dawlish #BSCAN #CreamT project camera and @Wirewall_NOC rig catching some wave splashes this morning. Winter storm data should be interesting! @SouthWestRRP
First installation for the @NERCScience funded @PlymUni netCTF project, deploying a newly developed system at the @BIForUoB FACE field site. Monitoring forest canopy temperatures with thermal IR and RGB cameras. An impressive facility even if it is a long way from the sea!
@PlymUni 3rd yr Ocean Science undergrads have just undertaken fieldwork in some unique places including Plymouth's historic Drake’s Island. Great site to add in an introduction to RTK drone SfM surveying. @UoP_CPRG Thanks GIUKGroup, island history at historyofdrakesisland.co.uk
@UoP_CPRG featured in the latest @PlymUni Alumni magazine, "Under the microscope: coast to coast
Rip currents, storm chasing and beach erosion with a remarkable team of researchers" plymouth.ac.uk/alumni-friend… @MarineSciPlym @PlymUniMI
Blue skies with amazing red and turquoise seas for the first sunny @pu_cprg @PlymUniResearch equipment service visit at #Dawlish for the @NERCscience #CreamT project. @Wirewall_NOC checked too!
The @wirewall_NOC CreamT installation continues today in less favourable conditions. Just keeping an eye on them from the warm & dry office via the @pu_cprg @pu_cmar @plymuniresearch camera system :) Not just train spotting...
Busy @pu_cprg @pu_cmar day installing the camera, laser scanner and met station systems at Dawlish for the CreamT project. The @wirewall_NOC installation is also well under way. @plymuniresearch @MarineSciPlym @southwestrrp
First @pu_cprg large UK field trip of the year on St. Martin's (Isles of Scilly). Careful placement of our instruments in the amazing sea grass meadows surrounded by an array of extra sensors throughout the bay

All equipment made it to the vessel. Testing and setup complete ahead of the @PlymUni @BIOTscience research cruise. Lots of exciting science awaits! Just 6 days until departure from the Maldives😀
Good progress by the team today with the boat mobilisation for our @PlymUni @BIOTScience cruise.The container now has power (and air con!) and is being fitted out, ROV winch tested, multi beam system tested and surveyed in, ADCPs prepped. Not much space left! One more day... 😬

A new camera installation on Wolf Rock for Trinity House included the opportunity to fly a drone survey. This 3D data was then added to the data set used to create the scale model used for the @PlymUni wave tank testing alturl.com/2yrxr Favourite take off point to date!
Heading back from the Isles of Scilly, leaving behind the clear waters and pristine beaches of St.Martin’s. Collected lots of aerial data with the @PlymUni @MarineSciPlym students who are ground truthing the images with dropcam and sidescan data. Looking forward to next year!
Heading out on the Scillonian to the Isles of Scilly to fly drone surveys for the @plymuni @MarineSciPlym undergrad field trip. Flight plans being finalised on the rear deck, in the sun, whilst spotting dolphins and whales near the boat!
