Coastal Environment Monitoring
Description
The research group is actively monitoring the beach of Sturla (in the Metropolitan area of the city of Genoa) by sampling the coastline and marine weather data such as waves, wind, and coastal currents off the coast.
To this end, we are equipping the beach to create an open-air laboratory by restoring a MEDA buoy and installing an ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) in the waters off the coast. Additionally, we have set up a CoastSnap base (https://www.coastsnap.com/) for shoreline detection through photos taken by visitors. If you would like to help us in this endeavour, simply visit the Sportiva terrace and send us your contributions via email at meteocean@dicca.unige.it or via IG with the hashtag #coastsnapsturla.
