Short summary
This article uses summary statistics of spatial point process theory to study the spatio-temporal pattern of a rockfall inventory recorded with repeated terrestrial laser scanning surveys at a chalk coastal cliff site in Normandy, France. This allows testing and quantifying the significance of geomorphological observations. From a spatial distribution perspective, behaviours of small and large scars cannot be considered equivalent, suggesting that erosion processes and triggering factors differ.
