Caspian Sea coastline in the Mazandaran province has been altered as a result of activities of developers attracted to aesthetic and coastal recreational aspects of forest ecosystems. Advances in GIS and RS techniques, has made it possible to study the coastal areas for better management. Hence, the present study was undertaken to determine land cover changes via applying cross classificat...

This paper focuses on automated extraction and monitoring of coastlines by remote sensing techniques using multi-temporal Landsat imagery along Caofeidian, China. Caofeidian, as one of the active economic regions in China, has experienced dramatic change due to enhanced human activities, such as land reclamation. These processes have caused morphological changes of the Caofeidian shoreline. In ...

We appreciate this opportunity to (i) clarify the simulation of surface winds at landfall of Hurricane Andrew (1992) as reported in Liu et al. (1997, hereafter referred to as LZY); (ii) make more detailed comparisons with one of the most sophisticated surface analyses of a landfallen hurricane by Powell and Houston (1996, hereafter referred to as PH96); and (iii) present the simulated winds at ...

In this article, we are dealing with the problem of coastline extraction in Very High Resolution (VHR) multispectral images (Quickbird) on the Normandy Coast (France). Locating precisely the coastline is a crucial task in the context of coastal resource management and planning. In VHR imagery, some details on coastal zone become visible and the coastline definition depends on the geomorphologic...

The groundwater quality of coastal areas is strongly influenced by changes in the hydrological boundary conditions, such as coastline configuration and climatic conditions. As groundwater quality patterns take a long time to adapt to the new boundary conditions, the effects of these changes can still be noticed today. For example, large amounts of saline groundwater are still found below areas ...
