One exciting feature in our new Spotter 3 platform is cellular connectivity 📶. For buoys deployed nearshore, this unlocks over-the-air updates, allowing you to remotely upgrade a device with the latest firmware. That got us thinking... Which firmware update is most exciting?

Huge waves have been hitting the Perth coastline these past few days. However look closely at this before/after #CoastSnap from the #CoastSnapRockingham station and you can see that the beach has actually grown vertically! Thanks Sean Sinclair for the snaps

Very pleased to share this article on the variability of power production of the M4 wave energy converter at two different locations. Free access for 50 days: authors.elsevier.com/c/1fYXx3QJ-dle…

Another great day for fieldwork on WA’s South Coast #fieldworkfriday UWA_OGS UWA Oceans Institute UWA Earth Sciences

I have learned so much about temperate reefs over the past year with Albert Pessarrodona! Cystophora forests are not only beautiful but highly diverse, endemic to Australasia and have similar biomass and productivity than kelp forests in SW Australia!! 🙌

The inaugural OCEN1001 Global Oceans Challenges movie festival UWA was a big hit! Incredible documentaries made by incredible students. #oceanschallenges UWA Students UWA Oceans Institute World Ocean Day m.youtube.com/channel/UCfhjY… tiktok.com/@wavedoctor_ar…

We are seeking input from the marine sensing community — what should Smart Mooring, the subsurface extension of our Spotter smart buoy, measure next? Please fill out our two question survey to share your opinion. docs.google.com/forms/d/1AsN_u…

A new study by AIMS & UWA Oceans Institute has found that natural temperatures changes on #coral reefs caused by tides, waves & currents can bring relief from marine heatwaves & may help corals adapt to higher temperatures. 🔗doi.org/10.1007/s00338… ➡️ow.ly/ebLl50OfnTr

#CoastalAreas, vital to millions, face massive pressures. Complex mgmt decisions are needed. #CitizenScience could offer relevant data & #CommunityEngagement. Carmen et al. (Michael Cuttler, Abbie Rogers) report an informative Australian case study doi.org/10.1016/j.ocec…

Well, that’s one way to do a surf check! Fun few days surveying the WA coastline - photos coming soon to wacoastline.org UWA_OGS UWA Oceans Institute UWA Research

On Thu. 6/28 at 6pm PT, join Sofar for a webinar with UWA Oceans Institute. We'll discuss: -The unique ocean environment in Western Australia + its effect on coastal regions & global ocean circulation. -How UWA uses our Spotter buoy platform to collect ocean data. sofarocean.com/posts/universi…
