WP2: Remotely sensed detection and monitoring of terrain changes in quick clay areas
This work package aims to develop innovative methods using remotely captured data to detect and monitor erosion-prone areas in quick clay regions.
The objective is to enable timely and effective assessment of such critical areas. Key deliverables include a best-practice workflow for repeat-UAV-borne LiDAR monitoring of erosion prone areas and a proof-of-concept of satellite-based terrain monitoring in quick clay areas, using data from new L-band radar satellites. These advancements will enhance Norway’s capability for the dynamic monitoring of erosion in quick clay areas. The work package is scheduled to run from mid-2024 to 2026.
