Excerpt

Our ability to identify and measure the effect of rock coast processes has improved with the application of modern analytical techniques, geochronometric dating, and physical and mathematical modeling, but we are still largely ignorant of their precise nature (Trenhaile, 1987; Sunamura, 1992). The relative importance of rock erosional processes is often determined on the basis of ambiguous morphological evidence. Although the processes responsible for the slow lowering of rock surfaces have been inferred from micro-erosion meter data, the technique is unable to measure the dislodgement of large rock fragments by waves and frost. …
