Utilization of Sentinel-2 satellite imagery for correlation analysis of shoreline variation and incident waves: Application to Wonpyeong-Chogok Beach, Korea by Euihyun Kim, Changbin Lim, Jung Lyul Lee

“…The entire shoreline of 2,860 m in length is divided into 39 transects, of which one-half of it is protected by submerged and emergent detached breakwaters, where shoreline has advanced, while the rest has eroded. From the standard deviation values ​​calculated from the extracted shoreline location data, the influence of long-term trends was excluded, and the intrinsic standard deviation is obtained by applying sediment size information, and then the incident deep-water (average annual maximum) wave height of 4.363 m was estimated. …”

Combined application of FTAN and cross-spectra analysis to ambient noise recorded by a microseismic monitoring network by Ilaria Barone, Alessandro Brovelli, Giorgio Tango, Sergio Del Gaudio, Giorgio Cassiani

“…Group and phase velocity dispersion curves have been jointly inverted to retrieve as many shear-wave velocity profiles as selected station pairs. While the average model can be used for a more accurate location of the local natural seismicity, the associated standard deviations give us an indication of the lateral heterogeneity of seismic velocities as a function of depth. …”
