Exploring the stormy beach
Last Wednesday I headed for the beach with my colleagues Jasper Donker and Christian Schwarz to see how the first autumn storm of 2017 swayed the Dutch coast.
We also stopped by the field site of our measuring campaign "AEOLEX-II", starting next month, which will focus on wind-driven sand transport. For updates on this campaign and photos of the storm, visit our blog.
