Researchers use drones to study storm-driven sand loss along Australia’s Illawarra coast, where climate change may worsen erosion.
Beach erosion along Australia’s Illawarra coast is under study by University of Wollongong researchers using drones to track sand movement from Woonona to Bass Point.
Storms drive sand loss, with recovery possible during calm periods, but frequent storms reduce recovery time, increasing erosion risks.
Natural sand flow moves sediment north, with some areas gaining sand while others face deficits.
Experts say erosion only poses a threat when it endangers buildings, not during natural shifts.
While seawalls are used in some areas, they may worsen long-term beach loss.
Climate change is linked to more intense storms and gradual sea level rise, which could intensify coastal impacts in the future.
