F!13Il-.-.; A:: It: Identification of Littoral Cells
Journal of Coastal Research 381-400 Fort Lauderdale, Florida Spring 1995 Littoral Cell Definition and Budgets for Central Southern England Malcolm J. Bray, David J. Carter and Janet M. Hooke Department of Geography University of Portsmouth Portsmouth, POI 3HE, England ABSTRACT . BRAY, M.J.; CARTER, D.J., and HOOKE, J.M., 1995. Littoral cell definition and budgets for central southern England. Journal of Coastal Research, 11(2),381-400. Fort Lauderdale (Florida), ISSN 0749 ,tllllllll,.e 0208. Differentiation of natural process units is promoted as a means of better understanding the interconnected . ~ ~ - nature of coastal systems at various scales. This paper presents a new holistic methodology for the f!13Il-.-.; a:: it: identification of littoral cells. Testing is undertaken through application to an extensive region of central ... bJLt southern England. Diverse sources of information are compiled to map 8. detailed series of local sediment circulations both at the shoreline and in the offshore zone. Cells and sub-cells are subsequently defined by thorough examination of the continuity of sediment transport pathways and by identification of boundaries where there are discontinuities. Important distinctions are made between the nature and stability of different boundaries and a classification of types is devised. Application of sediment budget analysis to major process units helps to clarify the regional significance of different sediment sources, stores and sinks. Within the study area, it is shown that sediments circulate from distinct eroding cliff sources to well defined sinks. Natural beaches are transient and dependent upon the continued functioning of supply pathways from cliff sources. Relict cells with residual circulations are identified as a consequence of interference. -
Historic Environment Action Plan the Undercliff
Directorate of Community Services Director Sarah Mitchell Historic Environment Action Plan The Undercliff Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for the Undercliff. INTRODUCTION This HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography, land use and settlement patterns which differentiate it from other HEAP areas. This document identifies essential characteristics of the Undercliff as its geomorphology and rugged landslip areas, its archaeological potential, its 19 th century cottages ornés /marine villas and their grounds, and the Victorian seaside resort character of Ventnor. The Area has a highly distinctive character with an inner cliff towering above a landscape (now partly wooded) demarcated by stone boundary walls. The most significant features of this historic landscape, the most important forces for change and key management issues are considered. Actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions. ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT Location, Geology and Topography • The Undercliff is identified as a discrete Landscape Character Type in the Isle of Wight AONB Management Plan (2004, 132). • The Area lies to the south of the South Wight Downland , from which it is separated by vertical cliffs forming a geological succession from Ferrugunious Sands through Sandrock, Carstone, Gault Clay, Upper Greensand, Chert Beds and Lower Chalk (Hutchinson 1987, Fig. 6). o The zone between the inner cliff and coastal cliff is a landslip area o This landslip is caused by groundwater lubrication of slip planes within the Gault Clays and Sandrock Beds. -
Bonchurch to Ventnor: Going in Hard!
THE COASTAL TRAIL - VENTNOR & BONCHURCH - KS5 Bonchurch to Ventnor: Going in hard! Welcome to Ventnor! In this location, you will study: ü The Shoreline Management Plan for this location ü The coastal management strategies in place in this location. Introducing the SMP A SMP is a document which is produced for all areas along the coastline in England and Wales. Each of the 11 sediment cells around this coastline are divided into sub-cells (based on knowledge of local processes) and, for each of these, an SMP is written. It examines the risks associated with coastal processes (erosion/fooding) and presents a policy detailing an approach to managing those risks. There are four possible options: ‘hold the line’, ‘advance the line’, ‘managed retreat/realignment’, or ‘do nothing’. Discuss with a partner, and your teacher, what each of these policies mean. The policy between Bonchurch and Ventnor, on the south coast of the Isle of Wight, is to ‘hold the line’. This involves a multi-engineered approach using a variety of hard engineering strategies to retain the existing coastline. There are many reasons for this strategy in this location. Why the need? The area lies within a stretch known as the ‘Undercliff’; an area of complicated and ununiformed geology that is prone to landslides. There are a range of landslide features including rotational slumping, mudslides and rockfalls (pictured). Heavy rainfall and storms exacerbate the unstable conditions in the area. This stretch of coast is also vulnerable to wave attack due to a variety of reasons: » its large fetch across the Channel/Atlantic, its exposure to the south-west prevailing winds and resulting high energy waves and storm surges (over 1m above predicted levels); » sediment supply is limited and beaches are non-existent or very narrow, providing little natural protection at the base of the cliffs; » high energy destructive storm waves abrade the base of the cliffs and sea defences with gravel. -

HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement
Isle of Wight Parks, Gardens & Other Designed Landscapes Historic Environment Action Plan Isle of Wight Gardens Trust: March 2015 2 Foreword The Isle of Wight landscape is recognised as a source of inspiration for the picturesque movement in tourism, art, literature and taste from the late 18th century but the particular significance of designed landscapes (parks and gardens) in this cultural movement is perhaps less widely appreciated. Evidence for ‘picturesque gardens’ still survives on the ground, particularly in the Undercliff. There is also evidence for many other types of designed landscapes including early gardens, landscape parks, 19th century town and suburban gardens and gardens of more recent date. In the 19th century the variety of the Island’s topography and the richness of its scenery, ranging from gentle cultivated landscapes to the picturesque and the sublime with views over both land and sea, resulted in the Isle of Wight being referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ or ‘Garden Isle’. Designed landscapes of all types have played a significant part in shaping the Island’s overall landscape character to the present day even where surviving design elements are fragmentary. Equally, it can be seen that various natural components of the Island’s landscape, in particular downland and coastal scenery, have been key influences on many of the designed landscapes which will be explored in this Historic Environment Action Plan (HEAP). It is therefore fitting that the HEAP is being prepared by the Isle of Wight Gardens Trust as part of the East Wight Landscape Partnership’s Down to the Coast Project, particularly since well over half of all the designed landscapes recorded on the Gardens Trust database fall within or adjacent to the project area. -

English Nature Research Report
Maritime Natural Area: MIO. Whitstable to Geological Significance: Notable North Foreland (provisional) General geologicaVgeomorpholugicaIcharactcr: The Whitstable to North Foreland Maritime Natural Area has a varied coastline with relatively low-lying coast in thc cast rising to boulder clay and chalk cliffs towards the Isle of Thanet. Geological Htrtory: This coastline is characterised by the Cretaceous chalk of the Isle oTThanet bounded to the west by clays, silts and sands of the Lower ‘I’ertiary. Upper Cretaceous Santonian chalk (87-83 Ma) is exposed dipping gently to the west from Margatc to the eastern side of Herne Bay. Unconformably overlying the chalk is a sequence of Lower Tertiary scdiments which are exposed in I Ierne Bay; the Palaeocenc Thanet, Woolwicli and Oldhaven Formations overlain by the Eocene London Clay Formation. The Chalk was deposited by a shallow sea which covered much of Northwestern Europe towards the end of the Cretaceous. Sea lcvel fall was followed by the unconformabie deposition of Tertiary Palaeocene and Ikcene sedirnents. Dominantly marine in origin, these scdiments were deposited by a rising, but fluctuating sea, which covered much of Southeast England. Marine conditions were well established by the Eocene leading to the deposition ofthe i,ondon Clay Formation. Thc fossil fauna and flora from the Tertiary rocks indicates a gradually warming climate with sub-tropical conditions established by the Eocene. Subsequent uplilt (associated with the Alpine Orogeny) and resultant erosion removed much of the remaining Tertiary sediments, the next deposition occurring during the Pleistocene. Though not covercd by ice, the area was affectcd by periglacial erosion in a tundra-like environment during the last glaciation (Devensian). -

Bonchurch Landslide, Ventnor Undercliff, Isle of Wight, UK
Geotechnical Study Area G3 Bonchurch landslide, Ventnor Undercliff, Isle of Wight, UK GEOTECHNICAL STUDY AREA G3 BONCHURCH LANDSLIDE, VENTNOR UNDERCLIFF, ISLE OF WIGHT, UK Plate G3 Bonchurch landslide, February 1995, Isle Of Wight , UK 1. BACKGROUND In early February 1995 a large landslide was reported to have occurred in the area known as “The Landslip”, which is situated on the south coast of the Isle of Wight at Bonchurch to the east of Ventnor (see Plate G3 and Figure G3.1). The Landslip area was owned by the Local Authority who first reported the incident to its consulting engineers on 6th February 1995. Early descriptions of the event indicated that a significant area of The Landslip had been affected by the landslide. The event was reported to have resulted in the loss of clifftop land due to the failure of a prominent rear scarp, which marked the landward extent to The Landslip, along with the considerable settlement and disruption of the slopes and amenities within The Landslip. Large quantities of landslide debris were reported to have been deposited on the foreshore, beneath the steep coastal cliffs, as a consequence of the slope movements above (Rendel Geotechnics 1995). Although the description of the events suggested a fairly sudden slope movement, there were no reports of any casualties. The landslide did, however, result in the destruction of a number of public footpaths which form an important amenity in the area. A major concern raised after the event was the potential for further slope instability and landslide extension, particularly upslope of the rear scarp of The Landslip (Plate G3a).
