Description
Summary:In this brief communication, we describe a case study about monitoring a soft-rock coastal cliff using webcams and a strain sensor, located in the Apulia region (southeastern Italy). In this urban and touristic area, coastal recession is extremely rapid and rockfalls are very frequent. Using low-cost and open-source hardware and software, we are monitoring the area, trying to correlate both meteorological information with measures obtained from the crack meter and webcams, aiming to recognize potential precursor signals that could be triggered by instability phenomena.
