    Innovative integration of UAV and geophysics techniques for monitoring Natural Arches in Malta and Gozo: the case study of Wied Il-Mielah (Gozo). Colica Emanuele (1), D'Amico Sebastiano (1) , Martino Salvatore (2), Iannucci Roberto (2), Paciello Antonella (3), Galea Pauline (1). (1)Department of Geosciences, University of Malta, (2) Department of Earth Sciences, University of Rome Sapienza, (3) ENEA - Casaccia Research Centre The geomorphological features of natural arches make these structures important tourist attractions worldwide but, at the same time, they are exposed to rapid erosive processes induced by wind and sea waves. The Maltese archipelago (Central Mediterranean Sea) hosts a great number of natural rock arches. On the 8th March 2017, a natural arch known as Azure Window (Fig.1) collapsed into the sea, at around 8:30 AM UTC (9:30 AM local time) (Fig.2), leaving no trace above the waterline (Galea P. et al., 2018). The collapse of the Azure Window, which was an iconic feature of the island of Gozo, motivated the need to characterise this type of natural structures and evaluate the risk of collapse to ensure the safety of visitors to the sites.

  • FHL Tide Bites #6 Feb
    FHL Tide Bites #6 Feb. 2014 Marine Benthic Habitat Mapping of the San Juan Island National Historical Park by H. Gary Greene and Sandy Wyllie-Echeverria Dr. H. Gary Greene is a marine geologist/geophysicist that has been investigating the Pacific Ocean seafloor for over four decades and pioneered the application of geology and geophysics to the characterization of marine benthic habitats. His specialty is in the spatial analysis of seafloor conditions that are critical to conservation and sustainability of bottom fisheries. Dr. Sandy Wyllie-Echeverria’s strong interest in the connection between botanical observation and evolutionary development fuels his research projects in seagrass ecology, reproductive ecology and ethnobotany. For nearly three decades this interest has taken him to sites throughout the Northeastern Pacific, Northern Atlantic and Mediterranean. Research scientists at Friday Harbor Labs Manually georeferenced air photo displayed over first return LIDAR (FHL), University of Washington (UW), constructed a series of thematic maps for the use of San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH) personnel to evaluate and manage the Park’s nearshore and offshore resources. This work was done in response to the U.S. National Parks Service’s (NPS) interest to map the submerged lands within its marine and lagoon shoreline park boundaries and to understand the aquatic processes that play a role in the formation, distribution and disturbance of coastal and submarine resources in and around park boundaries. These maps were constructed Figure 1. Areal photo taken along shore parallel transect showing nearshore area primarily using multibeam echosounder during a maximum low tide.
