Big things happening on gravel beaches! 🌊 Led by Dr Chris Blenkinsopp and PhD student Sam Rose, we’ve installed a solar-powered Lidar tower to monitor beach topography every low tide this winter at 3 sites: Borth (Wales), Chesil Beach (Dorset), and Pevensey Bay (E Sussex).

An article with some thoughts from @kevinpaine.bsky.social of CAER on whether concrete's climate impact can be cut.
A nice article that explores the potential of recycling building materials to mitigate the environmental impact of concrete. It includes some thoughts and quotes from me. Not sure whether I sound too negative, but I'll stick by the quote that it's not easy! www.thenationalnews.com/news/uae/202...

Gravity waves ripple through the atmosphere, driving air turbulence, shifting jet streams, and shaping weather at the edge of space. This summer, Matthew Baughen and Clara Crommen joined us to identify these waves using satellite data: a step toward understanding their impact on our changing planet.

With climate change, low-energy strategies like moisture buffering in porous building materials are vital for controlling indoor conditions. This summer, we funded Seren Jones to help Dr Valeria Cascione explore how these materials create healthier, more comfortable spaces while reducing energy use.

Climate change is reshaping UK reservoirs: rising Mn & algae levels, drought, & thermal stratification harm water quality. Seasonal drying/rewetting cycles worsen sediment release. This summer, we funded Fathima Begum to use new tools to measure these effects. Understanding key to water security.
