Abstract

Surface processes accelerated by severe storms during the 1997–1998 El Niño event scoured hillsides and damaged property across coastal California. Technological advances such as digital mapping, exemplified here for the San Francisco Bay area but applicable elsewhere, have enabled government agencies to better describe, monitor, and predict the effects of shoreline erosion and slope failure.
