Document Description
The project will install sensors into the bluff above Beacon’s State Beach to monitor site conditions and deformation with the ultimate goal of determining the feasibility of an early warning system to forecast dangerous landslides and rockfalls that will occur at the site. The project will be a three-year research project whose goals are to detect deformations in the cliff formation that are associated with varying patterns of rain, soil moisture, vibration, wave activity, and tidal cycles. The monitoring will provide an understanding of linkages, if any, among these observables and movements of the cliff face and support the development of a plan that could lead to the forecast of slope failures based on real-time data from these sensors.
