The Spiral that Vanished: The Application of Non-Contact Recording Techniques to an Elusive Rock Art Motif at Castlerigg Stone Circle in Cumbria (2006)
Journal Article
Díaz-Andreu, M., Brooke, C., Rainsbury, M., & Rosser, N. (2006). The Spiral that Vanished: The Application of Non-Contact Recording Techniques to an Elusive Rock Art Motif at Castlerigg Stone Circle in Cumbria. Journal of Archaeological Science, 33(11), 1580-1587. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2006.02.010

This article describes the recording of stone 11 of the Castlerigg stone circle in Cumbria through two different non-contact techniques: laser scanning and ground-based remote sensing. Despite the unproblematic recording of modern graffiti, neither t...

Long Meg: Rock Art Recording Using 3D Laser Scanning (2005)
Journal Article
Díaz-Andreu, M., Hobbs, R., Rosser, N., Sharpe, K., & Trinks, I. (2005). Long Meg: Rock Art Recording Using 3D Laser Scanning

This article focuses on the results obtained from the laser scanning recording of the Long Meg standing stone (NY56933716, CCSMR6154, NMR 23663) (Cumbria). This recording is result of the project “Breaking through rock art recording: three dimensiona... Read More about Long Meg: Rock Art Recording Using 3D Laser Scanning.

Terrestrial laser scanning for monitoring the process of hard rock coastal cliff erosion (2005)
Journal Article
Rosser, N., Petley, D., Lim, M., Dunning, S., & Allison, R. (2005). Terrestrial laser scanning for monitoring the process of hard rock coastal cliff erosion. Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 38(4), 363-375. https://doi.org/10.1144/1470-9236/05-008

Hard rock cliffs represent approximately 75% of the world's coastline. The rate and nature of the mechanisms that govern the retreat of these cliffs remain poorly constrained, primarily because conventional approaches employed to monitor these proces...

Combined digital photogrammetry and time-of-flight laser scanning for monitoring cliff evolution (2005)
Journal Article
Lim, M., Petley, D., Rosser, N., Allison, R., Long, A., & Pybus, D. (2005). Combined digital photogrammetry and time-of-flight laser scanning for monitoring cliff evolution. The Photogrammetric Record, 20(110), 109-129. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1477-9730.2005.00315.x

Although cliffs form approximately 75% of the world's coastline, the understanding of the processes through which they evolve remains limited because of a lack of quantitative data on the morphological changes they undergo. In this paper the combinat... Read More about Combined digital photogrammetry and time-of-flight laser scanning for monitoring cliff evolution.
