Science Based Project.

As this is a research project I am focusing my science based skills on a 3D monitoring survey of Porthtowan beach. The sand banks and the dunes shift a great deal here due to several different erosive factors which I will be looking into. From the data gained I will measure the height gain or loss (elevation change) over a 6 month period and therefore hope to be able to predict the shape of the beach in the future and inform the local environmental management of the damaging effects that could arise. The software used will be Surfer 8.
