Cliff House
… a bold house cantilevered over the edge of a cliff 120 feet above the water, and evolved into the study of how to design when starting with the primary form of a cube. The cube was chosen as representing the crystalline form of the rock upon which the house sits. The outside shell of the house …

Cliff ecology: Extent, biota, and recreation of cliff environments in the New River Gorge, WV
… (NERI) contains an extensive network of exposed cliff-forming sandstone units, the most extensive in West Virginia and possibly within the entire Appalachian range. These cliff resources are critical to NERI's national significance, and contain specialized and potentially rare plant communities …

Advanced Interaction Analysis for Foundation Design and Coastal Cliff Stability
Abstract Background Coastal cliff environments present complex geotechnical and structural challenges arising from the combined effects of soil behaviour, wave loading, and progressive cliff erosion. The stability of these areas is critical for the safety and sustainability of coastal …

Making an Impact: Coastal Cliff Response to Individual Wave Impacts
Understanding and predicting coastal cliff retreat remains a challenging field in coastal geomorphology. Efforts to link process drivers to erosion are confounded by the complexity of processes operating, slow rates of morphological change, and the difficulty of direct field observations. Waves are …

Experiencing an aerial landscape : hang gliding park on a cliff
This thesis is an exploration of architectural space as a contrasting and changing experience from the ground and from the ai r. It focuses on how architectural interventions may offer spatial experiences which may be instrumental in gaining a particular understanding of a place. The thesis design …

Low-Cost, Close-Range Digital Photogrammetry for Coastal Cliff Deformation and Beach Monitoring
… and analysing that would accommodate the coastal cliff as well as accurately monitoring beach accretion and erosion. A cliff monitoring infrastructure is required to understand the cliff change pattern and correctly predict cliff falls. This research develops some new technologies for coastal …

Soft cliff retreat adjacent to coastal defences, with particular reference to Holderness and Christchurch Bay, UK
… were identified in England and Wales, half on cliffed coasts. The terminal groyne effect theory was investigated on 17 sites on the soft cliffs of Holderness, Christchurch Bay and north-east Norfolk, UK, all of which erode naturally at 0.5m/yr-2.0m/yr. Historical shoreline analysis and a …

U-Th-Pb AGES OF HIGH-GRADE METAMORPHISM RECORDED IN POLYMICT EUCRITE LEWIS CLIFF (LEW) 85300
The inner solar system experienced an apparent increase in impact intensity almost a billion years after planet formation as predicted from Ar-Ar data of impact metamorphosed materials and crater density analyses. Evidence of this apparent increase in impact rate (the ‘late heavy bombardment’ or …

Beach and sea-cliff dynamics as a driver of long-term rocky coastline evolution and stability
… landscapes do. Despite their prevalence (sea cliffs or bluffs are present along nearly 75% of the world’s oceanic coastlines), we know very little about how rocky coastlines evolve. Quantitative studies of large-scale (>1 km) rocky coastline evolution are just beginning, and this work asks …

The Behavior of Chicks on the Visual Cliff Aged 1-20 Minutes and 80-100 Minutes
The specific problem of the present experiment was to investigate the relationship between the discrimination of visual depth perception and the time of locomotion.

Investigated physical/strength properties and elastic constants of fimbul granular ice applied to ice cliff stability analysis
… crew and the ship stationed at the bottom of the cliff. To assess the risk of failure, this study was carried out to quantify the stability of the vertical cliff. A slope stability analysis model was required to achieve this, which in turn needed inputs such as cliff geometry and ice material …
