Coastlines are constantly changing due to both natural and anthropogenic forces, and climate change and associated sea level rise will continue to reshape coasts in the future. Erosion is not only apparent along oceanfront areas; shoreline dynamics in sheltered water bodies have also gained greater attention. Additional estuarine shoreline studies are needed to better understand and protect coa...

The main objective of this research is to study the potential of different soft classification algorithms to determine subpixel composition for shoreline mapping. Sub-pixel composition information is an important element in determining the accuracy of shoreline maps based on subpixel analysis. This allows the shoreline to be mapped within image pixels producing an accurate and realistic predict...

Successful protection and restoration of Great Lakes nearshore ecosystems will likely rely on management of terrestrial resources along Great Lakes shorelines. However, relationships between biological communities and changing shoreline environmental properties are poorly understood. We sought to begin understanding the potential roles of shoreline geomorphological and land cover properties in ...

MOORE, L.J.; RUGGIERO, P., AND LIST, J.H., 2006. Comparing mean high water and high water line shorelines: Should proxy-datum offsets be incorporated into shoreline change analysis? Journal of Coastal Research, 22(4), 894– 905. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. More than one type of shoreline indicator can be used in shoreline change analyses, and quantifying the effects of this practi...
