Authors

Abstract

A traversing micro-erosion meter has been fitted with an electronic digital dial gauge so readings can he logged to a laptop computer. This facilitates rapid collection and analysis of data of erosion rates on shore platforms. Data analysis is enhanced by using 3-D plotting software to calculate volumes of material being eroded and to investigate processes of erosion
