Kinematic analysis of sea cliff stability using UAV photogrammetry
13 Erosion and slope instability poses a significant hazard to communities and 14 infrastructure located is coastal areas. We use point cloud and spectral data derived from close 15 range digital photogrammetry to perform a kinematic analysis of chalk sea cliffs located at 16 Telscombe, UK. Our data were captured from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and cover a 17 cliff face that is about 750 ...
متن کاملRank distributions: Frequency vs. magnitude
We examine the relationship between two different types of ranked data, frequencies and magnitudes. We consider data that can be sorted out either way, through numbers of occurrences or size of the measures, as it is the case, say, of moon craters, earthquakes, billionaires, etc. We indicate that these two types of distributions are functional inverses of each other, and specify this link, firs...
متن کاملGlobal frequency of magnitude 9 earthquakes
For decades seismologists have sought causal relationships between maximum earthquake sizes and other properties of subduction zones, with the underlying notion that some subduction zones may never produce a magnitude ~9 or larger event. The 2004 Andaman Mw 9.2 earthquake called into question such ideas. Given multicentury return times of the greatest earthquakes, ignorance of those return time...
متن کاملFractal dimension and earthquake frequency-magnitude distribution in the North of Central-East Iran Blocks (NCEIB)
The Gutenberg–Richter parameters (a and b), fractal dimension (DC), and relationships between these parameters are calculated for different regions of the North of Central-East Iran Blocks (NCEIB). The whole examined area (between 34°-36° N and 55°-61° E) is divided into 55 equal square grids. Both the a and b values for the frequency-magnitude distribution (FMD) and the fractal dimension (DC) ...
متن کاملCliff hangers
The peregrine falcon holds a special place in the minds of environmentalists and conservation biologists. The crash in its population throughout the 1950s and 60s was linked to the rapidly increasing use of agricultural organochlorine pesticides which led to a thinning of the birds’ eggshells and dramatic breeding failure. Since the widespread ban on the use of these chemicals, populations have...
