Article in The Australian newspaper A feature article on our new coastal research facility appeared in The Australian on 30th January 2008:
New field facility established at The Spit The University of Queensland Coastal Engineering group, in conjunction with Griffith University and the Gold Coast City Council, has established an innovative field research facility on the Gold Coast at the northern end of The Spit. The facility comprises an array of manometer tubes deployed along a single cross-shore transect through the surf zone. The manometer tubes allow direct measurement of mean water levels and waves across the surf zone during storm conditions. For more information visit our facilities page.
