A New sensor communication system that directly transmits data from underwater sensors to shoreline bases claims to monitor more closely the effects climate change has on coastal erosion. The technology is the result of an 18-month UK industry and academic collaboration. Sensors on the seabed around the UK's coastline would gather data such as temperature, pH levels and sediment movement. This information would be fed to an underwater radio modem that transmits the data wirelessly to an onshore radio modem connected to a PC.
