Six weeks, two mooring recoveries and one redeployment. The recovered instruments hold a full year of measurements from a site that cannot be visited in winter.
A core recovered in 2024 preserves the last interglacial better than anything the group had previously worked with, and does not agree with the shallower sites.
Post-storm surveys found dune loss varying by an order of magnitude between sites two miles apart, with sediment supply explaining most of the difference.
The department marks the death of an emeritus professor who established its mooring program and spent a career defending long-term measurement against every argument for stopping it.
Seagrass plots in the Aldwych estuary have survived two winters. Whether they function like the meadows they replace is a separate question, and the one the project is asking.
