MARSHFIELD, Mass. - TelAve -- The Marshfield Coastal Hazards Lab Team at the Atlantic Resiliency Innovation Institute (ARII), a nonprofit organization focused on creating a science-based community to address coastal hazards and enhance regional resiliency, recently marked a major milestone with the launch of its inaugural wave and wind sensor, the first of real-time monitoring tools to be deployed by the research team to better understand and respond to coastal hazards along the Marshfield shoreline.

The launch initiates a three-phased strategy to address what ARII founders Jeremy Devaney and Lara Brait have identified as a critical gap in data utilization. While numerous organizations monitor coastal conditions, data mined from these studies is seldom transformed into actionable solutions.

"The real-time data collected by our sensors will help us to bridge the gap between observation and action," said Devaney. "This technology will help guide innovative, science-based solutions for our shoreline and beyond – a huge step forward in resiliency and action."

The initial sensor is collecting real-time data that includes wave height, wave direction, water temperature, barometric pressure, and wind speed and direction.  ARII has made the data public through the CUMULUS platform at https://cumulus.coastalmeasures.com/waves/spott... (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net_ls_click-3Fupn-3Du001.gqh-2D2BaxUzlo7XKIuSly0rC4lWODUrRSzebG68HWXiL-2D2BDVs0rqq6X6o4WMfNsJ8-2D2FQYkyjxOa5mjQVny00ub0gEX5euO-2D2FZND9k4slsT2I4lp8csV7676nIT8mmcGPfwUrjtnApHz-2D...), which is also shared via a dashboard with members of the Marshfield community at places like the police station, local surf shops, and other locations.

The institute also plans to deploy more sensors and buoys that can additionally track the amount of oxygen dissolved in water, turbidity, and salinity, and eventually measure coastal erosion in real time.

"The goal is to create a regional sensor network that will monitor the processes affecting coastal resiliency in real-time," said Josh Humberston, Ph.D., director of the Marshfield Coastal Hazards Lab.  "And all of this is moving toward creating a collective data forecasting tool to determine what risks are headed for our coastline in different conditions, and which areas may need to be prioritized.
