Figure 2. Terrestrial laser-scanning study of fault relay zone architectures in normal faults from Kilve, Somerset, SW England: (a) Riegl LMS Z420i scanner, with tilt-mount to allow the scanner to be pointed downwards to scan the wave-cut platform from the cliff top; (b) Oblique view looking down on part of the laser scan point cloud. Yellow scale bar is 200m; (C) area of detail showing anastomosing fault strands. These can be picked directly within the scan data (comparable to picking faults in seismic), so that fault offsets and displacement gradients can be quantified. The view is approximately 100m wide, and is from the area of the red box in (b).
