Erosion Risk Assessment of Active Coastal Cliffs in Temperate
The potentially negative consequences resulting from cliff recession are a matter of serious concern in many coastal areas worldwide. The assessment of these kind of processes has traditionally been performed by calculating average cliff recession rates and projecting them into the future, without taking into consideration the diverse factors affecting cliff dynamics and stability. In this work...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Cost-Effective Airborne Remote Sensing System for Coastal Monitoring
Coastal lands and nearshore marine areas are productive and rapidly changing places. However, these areas face many environmental challenges related to climate change and human-induced impacts. Space-borne remote sensing systems may be restricted in monitoring these areas because of their spatial and temporal resolutions. In situ measurements are also constrained from accessing the area and obt...
متن کاملCost-Effective Monitoring of Railroad Bridge Performance
The railroad network carries 40 % of the freight in the US. Railroad bridges are the most critical part of the network and they need to be properly maintained for safety of operations. Railroad managers inspect the bridges to assess their structural condition. Railroad managers are interested in measuring displacements under train crossing events to prioritize their bridge management and safety...
متن کاملCost Effective Acoustic Monitoring of Bird Species
Climate change and human encroachment are some of the major threats facing several natural ecosystems around the world. To ensure the protection of ecosystems under threat, it is important to monitor the biodiversity within these ecosystems to determine when conservation efforts are necessary. For this to be achieved, technologies that allow large areas to be monitored in a cost effective manne...
متن کاملLong term coastal erosion and shoreline positions of Sri Lanka
Coastal zone of Sri Lanka is a key to sustainable development of the country. The erosion of country’s coastal zone has been identified as a long standing problem. Therefore, coastal sediment dynamics around the country has to be identified to develop an appropriate coastal zone management plan. Remote sensing and GIS techniques can be used for quantitative and qualitative analyses of coastal p...
