There is a renewed awareness of the finite nature of the world's soil resources, growing
concern about soil security and significant uncertainties about the carrying capacity of the …

This paper presents a review of the current state of the art in the use of terrestrial radar
interferometry for the detection of surface changes related to mass movement. Different …

The measurement of topography and of topographic change is essential for the study of
many geomorphic processes. In recent years, structure from motion (SfM) techniques …

High-resolution topographic surveying is traditionally associated with high capital and
logistical costs, so that data acquisition is often passed on to specialist third party …

The fragile landscape of the north European loess belt is prone to soil erosion due to soil
properties and intense land use of the fertile region. Exact measurement of surface changes …

Recent advances in structure from motion (SfM) and dense matching algorithms enable
surface reconstruction from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images with high spatial …

Although gully erosion is generally considered a major process of land degradation, its
contribution to total soil loss by erosion has recently been a subject of much discussion. The …

Erosion and deposition modelling should rely on field data. Currently these data are seldom
available at large spatial scales and/or at high spatial resolution. In addition, conventional …

Soil microtopography is a property of critical importance in many earth surface processes but
is often difficult to quantify. Advances in computer vision technologies have made image …

Aerial image capture has become very common within the geosciences due to the
increasing affordability of low-payload (< 20 kg) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for …
