The wash-up on Cyclone Alfred with a surfing sand scientist

from Out of the Blue · host James Whitmore and Dr Javier Leon

South east Queensland's beaches look a bit different after Cyclone Alfred. On the Gold Coast, erosion has left small cliffs on the beach. Where has all the sand gone? And will it come back? To find out, we speak to Dr Javier Leon, sand scientist and surfer at the University of Southern Queensland.Image: Cyclone Alfred approaches Queeland. NASA Johnson.
