With the StreetMapper laser scanning system mounted onto a 4x4 off-road vehicle, coastal zones can be mapped for various applications such as erosion and accretion studies, slope monitoring and beach level monitoring.

The image below shows the promenade at Felixstowe. The various topographical features of the beach, such as berms and the effects of longshore drift, can be seen. Click on the image for a higher resolution image. An animation of this project is also available in the gallery section.
