As such, it forms an integral part of any strategy to enhance resilience to geohazard events. Conversely, inadequate or lack of communication is a common factor in failing to minimise the risks involved. Communication about geohazards occurs at several different levels: between geoscientists and other professionals such as the engineers and planners; between professionals and other groups such as emergency services and insurance companies; and between all of these parties and the general public who are affected by events. Geoscientists need to be involved in all of these lines of communication. This paper examines the essential role of geoscientists in helping to reduce the risks associated with a wide range of geohazards. A series of key principles that links to a generic model of geohazard communication applicable to a wide range of scenarios is presented","PeriodicalId":272380,"journal":{"name":"Warta Geologi","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114424195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results from Secchi Disk readings show that, in general, the water clarity is worse near the reclaimed land when compared to protected areas, such as the National Park coastal area in northwest Penang. Furthermore, it was observed that Secchi depths become shallower to the northwest of the reclaimed land in comparison to the southern part. In order to estimate the Secchi Disk Depth using Landsat data, correlation between field data and satellite data was studied using linear regression approach. Correlation between ground data and atmospherically corrected satellite image for Band 5 (Near Infrared) was found to be the most robust with correlation coefficient close to one (R²=0.7051). The selected linear regression model was then applied to estimate the Secchi Depth for the entire image and for archive Landsat 8 images of the study area. In addition, ocean bottom soil samples taken around the reclaimed land are of very fine and muddy nature, which was previously of a sandy nature; a healthy environment for crabs, molluscs and other organisms. Very fine sediments are in suspension in high energy environment resulting in lower water clarity and a decrease in light penetration. Although the degraded coastal water clarity of Tanjung Tokong suggests that the reclaimed land has an adverse effect on its water quality, important environmental factors, such as tides, waves and currents must be taken into account to fully understand their effects on coastal water clarity.","PeriodicalId":272380,"journal":{"name":"Warta Geologi","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131852690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, it is importance to have a profound knowledge about the discontinuity network in rock engineering. Meanwhile, quarry is a common place for instability of the rock slope happens due to the activities on site such as excavation and blasting. These activities eventually create fractures, faults, and joints. Traditional measuring techniques are prone to human bias and provide only a rough knowledge about the discontinuity network. To increase the reliability of discontinuity models, digital mapping techniques such as Structure from motion (SfM) using data from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and remote sensing, like Close-Range Terrestrial Digital Photogrammetry, were developed. This paper focuses on the plane identification within 3-D point clouds using Discontinuity Set Extractor (DSE) in MATLAB® (The Mathworks Inc.). The 3-D point cloud is generated with the program Agisoft PhotoScan Professional digital photogrammetry software (version 1.1.6) from photos using UAV method. To verify the plane identification with MATLAB® the results were compared with manual mapping. Rosette plot of both methods show the same direction but different in quantity of the discontinuities set. The most dominant direction is N330 ̊ N340 ̊ on NNW-SSE. While, the least dominant discontinuities orientation happens to occur at E-W with the direction of N080 ̊-N090 ̊.","PeriodicalId":272380,"journal":{"name":"Warta Geologi","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132648094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
