Opis

The shoreline process is one of the most common natural processes that prevail over the land margins of sea sides. The most important aspect of coastal changes is detecting the relative interconnections of vulnerabilities over temporal scale. Shorelines changes and in inner coastal belts where tidal influences are active in the estuarine rivers, the changes of land or the morphological transformation of that landscape may take place due to active works of storm surges, high tides and seasonal inundation. The deformation of sea shore margins around the concerned island is most important to assess the sensitive marine phenomena which have a direct impact on managing the habitation as well as all set up of livelihood including coastal marine structures in this region. It also helps in comparison and evaluation for inclusion into the possible prognosis and decisions for the future status and locational vulnerabilities over time. The book covers detail photogrammetric and geostatistical methods pertaining to measurement of geomorphic transformations, their structures, shoreline evolution, and the spatio-temporal vulnerability modelling with the analytical reasoning.
