Coastal soft cliffs are subject to changes related to both marine and subaerial processes. It is
imperative to comprehend the processes governing cliff erosion and develop predictive …

This paper presents a novel, cost-effective method for a rapid and quantitative
characterization of discontinuities in fractured rock cliffs using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle …

This research evaluates the influence of various discontinuity data acquisition methods on
three-dimensional rockfall susceptibility assessments, employing a high-resolution 3D point …

Coastal areas constitute a very dynamic environment, balancing between numerous natural
and anthropogenic processes liable to sometimes hazardous geomorphic phenomena …

The presence of caves and, in general, of subterranean landforms produced by karst
processes is among the most typical geological features of the territory of Apulia, southern …

Filtering out vegetation from a point cloud based on color is only rarely used, largely due to
the lack of knowledge of the suitability of input information (color, vegetation indices) and the …

Understanding processes that affect changes in the coastal zone and the ability to predict
these processes in the future depends on the period for which detailed monitoring is carried …

Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and unmanned aerial vehicle-structure from
motion (UAV-SfM) provide point clouds with unprecedented resolution and accuracy that are …

Rockfalls present a significant hazard to human activities; therefore, their identification and
knowledge about potential spatial impacts are important in planning protection measures to …
