In Situ and Remotely Sensed Data Collection for Geotechnical Site Characterization of Intertidal Environments with Regards to Extreme Events
Publication: Geo-Extreme 2021
ABSTRACT
Geotechnical site characterization of energetic beach and nearshore environments is generally challenging due to harsh environmental conditions. In addition, few methods and sensors have been developed, tested, and/or validated for these conditions. Advances in remote sensing provide new pathways for data collection without physical presence of surveyors and with greater spatial coverage in a shorter period of time. This article presents initial lessons learned from testing satellite-sensed data, rapid physical testing tools, and buried pressure sensors for geotechnical characterization of intertidal environments pre-, during, and postextreme events for applications such as rapid assessment of erosion hotspots and emergency response.
