MTS and Sofar Ocean will host a member webinar July 23 from 7 to 7:30 p.m. EST on how Australia’s CoastRI initiative is creating a national-scale coastal observing and modeling system comprised of Sofar Spotter buoys to take on challenges caused by coastal change.

In this webinar, Michael Cuttler (University of Western Australia), Daniel Lerodiaconou (Deakin University), and Nevin DiParlo (Sofar) will discuss how CoastRI enables the deployment of a nationwide network of Spotters across Australia’s 16,000 mi. of coastline, dramatically increasing the spatial density of available real-time wave data in the country. This new data set will allow users throughout Australia to better understand coastal processes and potential coastal changes affecting species, habitats, industries, and communities.
