Risk-based benefit assessment of coastal cliff protection

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Water and Maritime Engineering, 2000
Cliff protection schemes are designed to reduce the risk of damage or permanent loss of cliff-top assets as a result of coastal cliff recession and landsliding. To identify the most efficient scheme in economic terms requires an assessment of the beneficial risk reduction that each of the scheme options will achieve. This paper introduces a risk-based

Frequency-Size Statistics of Coastal Soft-Cliff Erosion

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 2005
Predicting the retreat of a coastal soft cliff is a difficult and uncertain operation, which has both theoretical and practical significance. Recession of soft cliffs occurs through a combination of processes, including slope failures and surface erosion, that are difficult to model jointly.

Coastal cliff geohazards in weak rock: the UK Chalk cliffs of Sussex

Geological Society, London, Engineering Geology Special Publications, 2004
Abstract Geohazards related to chalk coastal cliffs from Eastbourne to Brighton, Sussex are described. An eight-fold hazard classification is introduced that recognizes the influence of chalk lithology, overlying sediments and weathering processes on location, magnitude and frequency of cliff collapses. Parts of the coast are characterized by

Recent UK experience of coastal cliff stabilisation

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Geotechnical Engineering, 2009
There are many locations on the UK coastline where the soil and weak rock cliffs are subject to erosion, and the resulting instability threatens both public safety and infrastructure. With predicted climate change, the impact of this erosion and instability will be an ever-increasing adverse affect on the coast.

Danish Coastal Cliffs in Glacial Deposits

Geografiska Annaler, 1949
Denmark (i. e. Jutland and the Danish islands, the Faroes not included) is a territory of glacial accumulation, the peripheric part of a former glacier-covered area. Morainic and fluvio-glacial deposits constitute the majority of the surface layers. Nearly 90 per cent of the Denmark-area are moraine hills, moraine flats and outwash plains.

Coastal soft cliff invertebrates are reliant upon dynamic coastal processes

Journal of Coastal Conservation, 2015
Coastal soft cliffs in the UK support rich assemblages of invertebrates including species restricted to soft cliffs Howe (Br Wildl 4: 323–331, 2003). Recent analyses have identified a total of 29 species confined to coastal soft cliffs, with a further 78 species having a high degree of dependence (Howe et al. Br Wildl 19: 172–181, 2008).

Coastal cliff monitoring using UAS photogrammetry and TLS

Hydrographische Nachrichten, 2020
Climate change and the imminent sea-level rise mean that coastal protection is becoming increasingly important, and measures must be taken to ensure that life and important infrastructure in coastal areas are protected. An essential prerequisite for the implementation of appropriate coastal protection measures is the monitoring of endangered areas ...

Stabilization of the Coastal Cliff in Netanya, Israel

Geo-Congress 2013, 2013
A BSTRACT: The coastal cliff at Netanya, Israel, is up to 54 m high and consists of soft calcareous sandstone ("Kurkar"), irregularly alternating with relatively thin layers of clayey sand and silty sand. The cliff suffers from constant erosion by the elements and slides happen frequently.

A Coastal Cliff Stability Study in Peniche (Portugal)

2015
A coastal cliff of 15 m high in Portinho da Areia do Sul, in Peniche (Portugal) showed signs of stability problems, highlighted by the occurrence of a minor landslide with some rocks falling, after a period of heavy rainfall. The study site was comprised of a near vertical slope of alternating limestone and detrital layers, topped with some red clayish

Cliff erosion and coastal change, mid Canterbury.

1997
The mid Canterbury coast has been largely neglected in the coastal research of the South Island's East Coast. This thesis investigates cliff erosion and coastal change in mid Canterbury. The mid Canterbury coast is comprised of mixed sand and gravel beaches with unconsolidated alluvium cliffs landward of the beaches.
