Earthquake contributions to coastal cliff retreat [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2023 Modeling suggests that steep coastal regions will experience increasingly rapid erosion related to climate-change-induced sea level rise. Earthquakes can also cause intense episodes of coastal cliff retreat, but coseismic failures are rarely captured in ...

A High-Precision LiDAR-Based Method for Surveying and Classifying Coastal Notches [PDF]
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2018 Formation of notches is an important process in the erosion of seaside cliffs. Monitoring of coastal notch erosion rate and processes has become a prime research focus for many coastal geomorphologists.

An Integrated Procedure to Assess the Stability of Coastal Rocky Cliffs: From UAV Close-Range Photogrammetry to Geomechanical Finite Element Modeling [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2017 The present paper explores the combination of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry and three-dimensional geomechanical modeling in the investigation of instability processes of long sectors of coastal rocky cliffs.

Recent acceleration in coastal cliff retreat rates on the south coast of Great Britain. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2016 Rising sea levels and increased storminess are expected to accelerate the erosion of soft-cliff coastlines, threatening coastal infrastructure and livelihoods.

UAV telephotography elucidates floristic variability and beta diversity of island cliffs under grazing interventions [PDF]
Scientific ReportsCliffs contain one of the least known plant communities, which has been overlooked in biodiversity assessments due to the inherent inaccessibility.

Modeling future cliff-front waves during sea level rise and implications for coastal cliff retreat rates [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIt is often assumed that future coastal cliff retreat rates will accelerate as global sea level rises, but few studies have investigated how SLR (sea level rise) might change cliff-front wave dynamics.

Controls on the distribution of cosmogenic 10Be across shore platforms [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2017 Quantifying rates of erosion on cliffed coasts across a range of timescales is vital for understanding the drivers and processes of coastal change and for assessing risks posed by future cliff retreat. Historical records cover at best the last 150 years;

CliffDelineaTool v1.2.0: an algorithm for identifying coastal cliff base and top positions [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2022 Correct quantification of coastal cliff erosion requires accurate delineation of the cliff face bounded by the cliff top and base lines. Manual mapping is time consuming and relies on the mapper's decisions and skills.

Assessment of the dynamic trajectories and maritime character of Armorican cliff-top coastal heathlands [PDF]
Plant Sociology, 2023 Atlantic coastal cliff heathlands are chamaephytic vegetation dominated by Ericaceae, most often associated to Fabaceae (Ulex) and integrated from a phytosociological point of view into alliance of Dactylido oceanicae-Ulicion maritimi Géhu 1975 (class of

The effects of storms and a transient sandy veneer on the interannual planform evolution of a low-relief coastal cliff and shore platform at Sargent Beach, Texas, USA [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2021 Coastal cliff erosion is alongshore-variable and episodic, with retreat rates that depend upon sediment as either tools of abrasion or protective cover.
