The Importance of Monitoring Interval for Rockfall Magnitude-Frequency Estimation (2019)
Journal Article
Williams, J., Rosser, N., Hardy, R., & Brain, M. (2020). The Importance of Monitoring Interval for Rockfall Magnitude-Frequency Estimation. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 124(12), 2841-2853. https://doi.org/10.1029/2019jf005225

The frequency distribution of rockfall sizes ('magnitude-frequency') is important for erosion and hazard modeling. This typically follows a power law, with few larger rockfalls compared to more numerous small events. Advances in LiDAR hardware and al...

Identifying mechanisms of shore platform erosion using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry (2019)
Journal Article
Swirad, Z., Rosser, N., & Brain, M. (2019). Identifying mechanisms of shore platform erosion using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 44(8), 1542-1558. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4591

Shore platforms control wave energy transformation which, in turn, controls energy delivery to the cliff toe and nearshore sediment transport. Insight into shore platform erosion rates has conventionally been constrained at mm-scales using micro-eros...

Controls on the geotechnical response of sedimentary rocks to weathering (2019)
Journal Article
de Vilder, S., Brain, M., & Rosser, N. (2019). Controls on the geotechnical response of sedimentary rocks to weathering. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 44(10), 1910-1929. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4619

Weathering reduces the strength of rocks and so is a key control on the stability of rock slopes. Recent research suggests that the geotechnical response of rocks to weathering varies with ambient stress conditions resulting from overburden loading a...
