[Aqualist] Addendum to the LIEF grants announcement

[Simon Haberle]

Hi all,
An addition to the LIEF grant success for this year is posted below making it a total of 3 LIEF grants awarded in the disciplines related to Quaternary Research. Thanks to Allan Chivas for pointing it one out and apologies for missing this one.
Congratulations to the recipients.

Quite a year for the Quaternary!

Regards, Simon

State of the Art Coastal Elevation and Bathymetry Facility (CoastElBathy).
Green laser LiDAR technology enhances the capacity to develop seamless elevation and bathymetric models and integration with remote-piloted aircraft (RPA/drones) provides the opportunity to address significant data gaps in shallow-water coastal environments, including beaches and estuaries. When RPA-mounted, surveys can target regions where data are sparse, access is limited and can be optimised to characterise morphological change. Data generated from the CoastElBathy facility will underpin development of models urgently needed to project shoreline change due to storms, climate variability, and sea-level rise. Collaboration with industry ensures CoastElBathy informs decisions that seek to minimise coastal risk and maximise public benefit.
