Fieldwork plan

RUSH project intensive fieldwork is about to start.
Our first attempt to measure overwash will be on the 16th and 17th September (Sunday and Monday).
During fieldwork we will deploy equipment (ADP, 2 EMC, ADV, 8 PTs, and video) in 8 stations from the low tide beach level until the backbarrier.

This is one of the field sites, close to Ancão Inlet.

This is the urban study site, at Praia de Faro.

Fieldwork preparation

It has been 3 long weeks preparing equipment and mooring structures. So far so good, almost done!!
Video is behind schedule but we do our best to have everything ready on time.
Take a look at the high-tech device we done 2 days ago.




Welcome
