Assessing coastal resilience from satellite imagery? Together with Emma Imen TURKI, E. Tonatiuh Mendoza, Alec Torres-Freyermuth, Edward Salameh, Xiao Hua Wang, Lilizju and Gabriela Medellin Mayoral we had a few interesting days at the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern to work on this question. Orbiting this question: What do we (=coastal researchers) even mean by resilience? How do we quantify this resilience from our field data? And how do satellite-derived products compare to our field-derived observations? #CRESTE #ISSI
I am delighted to be invited in the International Space Science Institute (Switzerland) within the framework of the European program ‘CRESTE’ that I hold with an excellent international consortium to work on Coastal Resilience using EO Techniques. Interesting scientific interactions have been developed/shared during this week with Gabriela Medellín Mayoral; Lilizju; Xiao Hua Wang; Alec Torres Freyermuth; Timothy Price; Edward Salameh; Ernesto Mendoza; Sincere Congratulations to the CRESTE team !

The bluefin is always a point of reference (along with the Megamouth at Boola Bardip of course) of a great and successful glycerol mount
The 4-metre-long blue marlin specimen on display at the Museum is certainly one of a kind! These magnificent fish are typically found on the other side of the Atlantic, but when this specimen was beached in Wales in 2016, Museum scientists knew they had to act quickly to preserve it! Preserving this marine marvel in glycerol for both our scientists to study and our visitors to enjoy has helped us learn more about how these enormous fish live.
