LONDON — Wireless Fibre Systems Ltd. is leading a consortium to develop an underwater sensor network that can monitor the impact of climate change on coastal erosion. The £670,000 (about $1.2million) project will run for 18 months and WFS (Livingston, Scotland) along with Swansea Metropolitan University (Wales) and Valeport Ltd. (Totnes, England) is developing a wireless network of underwater sensors that will give researchers a real-time look at seabed erosion. They aim to deploy over 200 monitoring systems around the world to measure changes on the seabed and to predict and measure coastal erosion. The initiative has received an investment of nearly £450,000 (about $835,000) from the Technology Strategy Board and will be managed by the School of Applied Computing at Swansea Metropolitan University. "We are already seeing...
