The Making Space for Sand project, in partnership with the Coastal Processes Research Group (CPRG) at the University of Plymouth, has installed five weather stations at key locations along Cornwall’s coastline.
These stations are gathering important data on wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall.
By monitoring these factors, researchers can gain a better understanding of how sand moves further inland.
According to Cornwall Council, this information is essential for building models that assess coastal change and inform future planning.
