Observations of coastal cliff base waves, sand levels, and cliff top shaking [PDF]
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2016 AbstractConcurrent observations of waves at the base of a southern California coastal cliff and seismic cliff motion were used to explore wave–cliff interaction and test proxies for wave forcing on coastal cliffs. Time series of waves and sand levels at the cliff base were extracted from pressure sensor observations programmatically and used to compute

Coastal cliff ground motions and response to extreme storm waves [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 Coastal cliff erosion from storm waves is observed worldwide, but the processes are notoriously difficult to measure during extreme storm wave conditions when most erosion normally occurs, limiting our understanding of cliff processes.

A composite fall-slippage model for cliff recession in the sedimentary coastal cliffs
Geoscience Frontiers, 2017 AbstractA composite fall-slippage model is proposed in this study for the Tertiary sedimentary coastal cliffs of Varkala in the western coastal tract of Peninsular India which are retreating landwards due to the combination of several factors. The fall model in the present study accounts both spring seepage and wave action, resulting in undercutting ...

Sedimentary Coastal Cliff Erosion in Greenland [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2023 AbstractClimate change will increase the duration of annual sea‐ice‐free periods and shift precipitation patterns across the Arctic. Those factors are likely to increase erosion rates along its coasts. Large parts of the Arctic coast consist of hard rock.

Multi-objective optimisation of a rock coast evolution model with cosmogenic 10Be analysis for the quantification of long-term cliff retreat rates [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2021 This paper presents a methodology that uses site-specific topographic and cosmogenic 10Be data to perform multi-objective model optimisation of a coupled coastal evolution and cosmogenic radionuclide production model.

INNOVATIVE COASTAL CLIFF STABILISATION - THE SCARBOROUGH CLIFFS STABILISATION PROJECT
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2023 Coastal cliff erosion and retreat is a common problem worldwide. Long-term erosion due to natural coastal processes have caused the iconic vibrant red cliffs of the Redcliffe peninsular (Scarborough, Queensland, Australia), to retreat landwards, which posed a potential risk to public safety and infrastructure.

Coastal cliff exposure and management
Ocean & Coastal Management, 2020 [Abstract:] Coastal cliffs cover about 75% of the world's coastlines. Many of these cliffs suffer severe erosion problems, which are mainly caused by wave action and lead to important damages. The main objective of this work is to propose and apply a methodology to characterize and map wave exposure levels for the management of cliff coasts.

Global distribution of coastal cliffs [PDF]
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2019 AbstractPrevious studies have estimated that coastal cliffs exist on about 80% of the global shoreline, but have not been validated on a global scale. This study uses two approaches to capture information on the worldwide existence and erosion of coastal cliffs: a detailed literature survey and imagery search, and a GIS‐based global mapping analysis ...

Journal of Maps, 2023 We present a geomorphological map of the southwestern coast of Sardinia encompassing inland and offshore areas of the S’Omu e S’Orku Mesolithic site. The submerged area was documented by high-resolution multibeam bathymetry combined with Side-Scan Sonar ...
