Data Types

Since 2006 we have been collecting coastal monitoring data for the entire South West coast – that’s over 17 years!

We have a wide range of coastal data including aerial photography, bathymetry, coastal asset information, habitat mapping, LiDAR, topographic beach profile surveys, wave and tidal measurements and weather data.

In addition, we have various other datasets such as airborne bathymetry, terrestrial laser scans and uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) surveys. The data we collect is analysed by our expert team of Coastal Process Scientists; findings are reported here in our annual survey reports, as well as in other site, or event-specific reports.
