Abstract The position of the coastal waterline—the interface between land and sea—varies over time due to sedimentary and hydrodynamic processes influenced by climate variability. While previous studies have mainly focused on local morphodynamic or storm‐driven shoreline changes, the large‐scale climatic controls on global waterline variability remain ...

LANDSAT application of remote sensing to shoreline-form analysis [PDF]
The author has identified the following significant results. LANDSAT imagery of the southern end of Assateague Island, Virginia, was enlarged to 1:80,000 and compared with high altitude (1:130,000) and low altitude (1:24,000) aerial photography in an ...

Abstract Hurricane Harvey (2017) produced 31 net‐erosional washout channels on San Jose Island, Texas, USA, where offshore‐directed flows cut through two dune ridges and the beach. Channel growth was affected by natural, pre‐existing aeolian topography, rather than prior washover channels or infrastructure. We investigate how offshore directed outwash,

Abstract This study examined the spatiotemporal variability in geotechnical properties of beach cusp sediments on a sandy beach and tested if such variability can be used for cusp monitoring from satellite imagery. Specifically, sediment properties (including moisture content (w), relative density (Dr), sediment strength (QSBC) and friction angle (ϕ ...

Using 3DF Zephyr to determine body‐worn camera position
Abstract Photogrammetry has been used consistently in forensic settings to document crime scenes three‐dimensionally. Traditionally, a large number of still photos are taken, and information from those photos is used to create a three‐dimensional (3D) model.

As climate change is becoming a global issue, the impact of sea level rise is increasingly becoming a threat to humans, wildlife, infrastructure, and ecosystems. To evaluate the effects of sea level rise on barrier islands and coastal regions, we studied

Archives of impact: The politics of craters on Earth
This paper examines Earth’s 195 confirmed impact craters as archives, exploring their cataloguing and presentation as heritage sites. It argues Western scientific framings using military language and emphasising catastrophe overlook settler colonialism’s violent histories and marginalise indigenous earth‐sky cosmologies.

Mountain‐top spherules: Criteria to identify natural and synthetic particles
Abstract Natural microspherules are important tracers of geologic and environmental processes in modern and ancient deposits. However, anthropogenic contamination can dilute natural collections by releasing synthetic microspherules into the environment.

Magnetic Signatures of a Plasma Wake Behind the Swarm Satellites
Abstract This study provides first observational evidence of a plasma wake behind ESA's Swarm satellites, manifesting itself by a brief magnetic field strength spike and bipolar field variations in transverse direction. These magnetic signatures occur only near the dip‐equator where the magnetic declination is close to zero.
