Researchers with UCSD Scripps Institution of Oceanography are finding success in bluff erosion forecasting tools, with hopes to expand laser-imaging technology.
Young has been a researcher with UCSD Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a vital part of the team that surveys coastal bluffs in San Diego using lidar data from advanced laser-imaging technology.
It's a step in the right direction when it comes to forecasting but far, as Young described, from the end goal. The funding for Young's team only covers annual testing for the 25-mile coastal stretch between Carlsbad and Torrey Pines. He's currently working on a mapping program for lidar teams to collect data across the state each year. In the meantime, his team is also waiting for permits to use a new fiber optic strain sensor that would study the ground's motion inside the bluff to help detect a landslide before it happens.
