Technical Speak

Tody I was desperately trying to get some electronic devise to work on the bridge. I thought that I would ask for some professional help from the smarty pants, electrician dude, who is re-wiring all of our navigation equipment. After some careful consideration, he told me that there was a 2 ft 'Air Gap' between the plug and the socket.

I hate it when that happens!

I've got one too...but 87 pages of it... Now try to translate that one into French!

Predicting trends in coastal morphology and subsequently assessing the associated hazard focuses on an understanding of the changes that have taken place in the past. Historically this has been achieved by monitoring and reporting with a variety of datasets such as topographical surveys or aerial photogrammetry. This methodology has advanced recently to produce a quantitative tool for rapid assessment of future coastline evolution using GIS. Taking advantage of historical sets of aerial photographs dating back to the middle of the twentieth century it is possible to obtain an accurate account of coastal change which offers many advantages over more traditional approaches such as the comparison of retreating clifflines obtained from early maps. Increasingly sophisticated methods of data manipulation including Ordnance Survey data sets and satellite data are available to produce a range of models and simulations. Combined with aerial photographs, these techniques provide a powerful tool to assist in dissemination of information on a range of earth science and engineering geological issues.
