Heading back from a fantastic week on #Texel from our Newcastle University Geography NCL Physical Geog field course. Looking forward to heading back next year 🌎
A visit to CoastSnap NL #CoastSnapTexel today - community based beach monitoring through a global network of photo points, allowing shoreline changes to be tracked through time
First real field day for our NCL Physical Geog Newcastle University Geography Netherlands students on Texel. Getting to grips with nature based solutions at de Slufter w/ Louise Callard Chris Hackney Rupert Bainbridge
First day of Newcastle University Geography NCL Physical Geog field trip to #Texel and just in time to watch 810,000m3 of sand be dumped onto the beach for nourishment Seb Pitman
Large crashing waves are expected to hit the west coast of the UK today with the arrival of Storm Kathleen.
Please stay well away from the water. Your life isn't worth risking for a selfie.
If you see someone in trouble, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

The foot of the cliffs at Easington have retreated by 10m since 2010, and now we see repeat cycles of cliff base erosion during storms, and then slumping during extreme rainfall events. Here I talk briefly to ITV about the recent slump over Christmas NCL Physical Geog Newcastle University
This paper came out last week. It provides some deep insights into beach cusp formation and destruction on a gravelly beach.

Our beach cusp study based on a three week combined LiDAR and UAV deployment on a composite beach is now in print, highlighting interesting mixed sediment dynamics, and divergent adjustment to changing conditions coco James Shulmeister NCL Physical Geog

Join me tomorrow for a talk at the Royal Meteorological Society Extreme Weather and Safety at the Coast webinar for a look at how climate might change our interactions with the beach - register here: rmets.org/event/extreme-… Newcastle University Geography NCL Physical Geog
🚨Funded PhD🚨 investigating the dynamics of mixed sediment beaches at NCL Physical Geog. An opportunity through fieldwork to investigate event-driven (storm), seasonal, and decadal changes in mixed sediment systems. Please get in touch to discuss. Details here research.ncl.ac.uk/media/sites/re…
Delighted to get an opportunity to talk through how an increasing frequency of winter storms may impact the coastline here in the North East. This beach, at least, is rapidly recovering from the first few winter storms of the year Newcastle University Newcastle University Geography HaSS Research & Innovation Team
