Characterization of Geomorphological Surface Activities Using Near-Continuous Terrestrial LiDAR Time Series: The classification of 4D objects-by-change

The Earth's landscapes are shaped by processes eroding, transporting, and depositing material over various timespans and spatial scales. To understand these surface activities and mitigate potential hazards they inflict, knowledge is needed of their occurrences and properties. Near-continuous terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) enables the...

Identifying high Alpine geomorphological processes using permanent laser scanning time series

Global climate change affects mountain regions such as the European Alps. Consequently, glacier extents decrease, and proglacial areas, the areas that recently lost their ice cover, increase in size. These proglacial areas are subject to a high frequency and magnitude of geomorphological activity and act as a sediment source for downstream...

Detection of aeolian sand strips and their characteristics using terrestrial laser scanning: The dependency between aeolian sand strip development and the environmental conditions occurring at the Noordwijk beach

Sea level rise causes more difficulties for coastal maintenance. Although hard structures were built in the past to prevent for flooding, nature based solutions are preferred more recently. For the application of nature based solutions, a better understanding of the coastal processes is desired. Dry sand is transported towards the dunes by...
