Timothy Price, assistant professor of Geosciences, shows what the metal holder for the phone looks like. The CoastSnap project asks random beachgoers to take pictures of the Dutch coast.

RDM Support helped the researchers in building a smart online platform to which participants send their pictures. Now if you upload a picture, you immediately get an analysed image back on your mobile phone. Five CoastSnap measuring points have been placed along the coast in the province of North-Holland. These measuring points are surprisingly simple: each one consists of a wooden pole with a metal holder on top.
