“…Examples include investigations of earthquake rupture dynamics (e.g., Brodsky et al, 2011;Jones et al, 2009;Renard et al, 2006;Sagy and Brodsky, 2009;Sagy et al, 2007), deformation from surface-rupturing earthquakes (e.g., Gold et al, 2010;Gold et al, 2011;Oldow and Singleton, 2008;Wei et al, 2010;Wilkinson et al, 2010), structural and stratigraphic architecture of sediments and stacked fl ood basalts (e.g., Nelson et al, 2011;Wilson et al, 2009), and fl uid-reservoir characteristics (e.g., Bellian et al, 2007Bellian et al, , 2005Enge et al, 2007;Labourdette and Jones, 2007;Olariu et al, 2008). In addition, repeat or time series TLS scans have been used to capture changes during hillslope denudation (Wawrzyniec et al, 2007) and ocean beach erosion (Pietro et al, 2008), as well as rock-fall volumes (Rabatel et al, 2008;Stock et al, 2011), landslide kinematics (Teza et al, 2007(Teza et al, , 2008, and postseismic deformation (Wilkinson et al, 2010).…”
