An approach using very high-resolution remote sensing and geospatial tools for monitoring shoreline dynamics and assessing erosion risk in relation to hydrodynamic forcing along the central Algerian coastline

Integrating Geomorphological Susceptibility Indices and UAS-LiDAR Data Coastal Erosion Monitoring: The Agri River Mouth Case Study (Southern Italy)

Qualitative and quantitative estimation of coastal susceptibility is crucial for risk management, especially for coastal landscapes prone to sea-level rise and increasing human pressure. Geomorphological-based indices, utilizing physical variables like shoreline change and spatial extent of dune ridges, represent a con...

Multi decadal shoreline dynamics of the Gwadar coast, Pakistan: insights from DSAS and satellite remote sensing data

Remote sensing study of 30-year shoreline movement on the Rosetta promontory related to the spatial variations in sediment grain size and heavy mineral concentration

The Nile Delta coastline has undergone significant morphological changes since the early 20th century due to interconnected natural and human factors. A major turning point was the construction of the Aswan High Dam in 1964, which blocked sediment flow to the delta, accelerating coastal erosion. This study analyzed sho...

Spatio-Temporal Shoreline Analysis of Small Harbours Along the Atlantic Coast, Western Cape Province, South Africa

Coastal zones are subject to a range of natural and anthropogenic processes that result in coastal erosion and accretion, threatening essential infrastructure and straining livelihoods. Analysis of shoreline changes is thus crucial for informing coastal zone planning and management to avert the ramifications of erosion...

Geospatial assessment of shoreline dynamics for sustainable policy shifts: Evidence from rapidly developing coastal zones

Coastal zones are dynamic environments. It undergo continuous morphological change due to natural processes and human activities. It is posing significant risks to ecosystems, tourism, and coastal communities. This study investigates shoreline dynamics and coastal morphological changes at Calido Beach, Kalutara, along...

Satellite-Based Framework for Detecting Seabed Dynamics from Shoreline Variability along Spit Coasts—A Pilot Study from the Hel Peninsula

This study presents a pilot, data-driven framework for detecting nearshore seabed dynamics based on shoreline variability derived from high-resolution satellite imagery, integrated with in situ bathymetric measurements along the Hel Peninsula in the southern Baltic Sea. The approach focuses on assessing whether satelli...
