Coastal Landforms: An Introduction to Coastal Geomorphology with Australian Examples

Coastal GIS for Geomorphology , Habitat Mapping ,

This sixth special issue on Marine and Coastal Geographic Information Systems (M&CGIS) 11 is the first to be based on an organized series of presentations at a conference, the 2008 12 Association of American Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, 13 USA. The papers were selected and peer reviewed for publication in this special issue 14 under the theme “Marine Geomorphology ...

DEM Reconstruction of Coastal Geomorphology from DINSAR

The paper is focused on Digital Elevation Model (DEM) reconstruction from differential interferometry synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR). In doing so, conventional DInSAR procedures are implemented to three repeat passes of RADARSAT-1 SAR fine mode data (F1). Further, the multichannel MAP height estimator is implemented with phase unwrapping technique. Consequently, the multichannel MAP height e...

Are We Protecting the Beneficial Functions of Coastal Landforms? an Analysis of Activities Permitted on Coastal Landforms on Cape Cod in 1999

Chesapeake Bay, the Nation’s largest estuary, has been adversely impacted by excess nutrients. Excess nutrients have caused low dissolved oxygen levels leading to loss of fisheries and other living resources. The Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) is leading an effort to reduce nutrient sources and loads in the Bay watershed to meet dissolved oxygen criteria in the Bay by 2010. The U.S. Geological Su...
