Objective(s): To measure rates of coastal retreat; to survey beach morphological changes; to monitor bathymetric variations in the nearshore zone; to map and characterize the physical properties of nearshore and onshore sediments;
Project Description: The Researcher and team will conduct cliff and beach surveys to measure change in the shoreline position. They will also survey shallow lagoon and nearshore zones in the area of Drift Point and Atkinson Point. Seafloor sediment samples will be collected using a grap sampler and a portable piston corer.
