چکیده
As in many other regions of the world, coastal recession West and Central Africa is result natural factors, anthropogenic or both (Anthony et al., 2016; Luijendijk 2018), when it occurs, may continue unless firmly addressed. Erosion along Ghana's coastline endemic as most Gulf Guinea countries Africa. The current challenge how to document understand dimensions erosion despite limited human logistical capacity. Regular monitoring areas a prerequisite evade any imminent erosive disaster within cities (Angnuureng 2022). Data-driven decisions have remained more uncertain because platforms are unable capture events certain frequency. main goal this work test feasibility using multiple sources remote sensing assess dynamics pocket beach at Elmina Ghana, showcase for local governance.

A web platform for landuse, climate, demography, hydrology and beach erosion in the Black Sea catchment
The Black Sea catchment (BSC) is facing important demographic, climatic and landuse changes that may increase pollution, vulnerability and scarcity of water resources, as well as beach erosion through sea level rise. Limited access to reliable time-series monitoring data from environmental, statistical, and socio-economical sources is a major barrier to policy development and decision-making. T...
متن کاملEconomic Valuation of Beach Erosion Control Programs
In this study, we employ a choice-based conjoint survey design to elicit individual choices of beach erosion control programs that can potentially cause multiple effects on beach environment. Two empirical choice models which incorporate individual heterogeneity, are used to analyze and compare the elicited individual choices of erosion control programs. Our results show that to a typical indiv...

Although bioluminescence (BL) in the open ocean has been extensively studied, coastal BL remains poorly under stood due, in large degree, to a lack of BL instrumentation appropriate to measure the fine-scale biological and phys ical complexity of the coastal regime. As a contribution toward understanding coastal BL, we developed the Multipurpose Bioluminescence Bathyphotometer (MBBP). This co...
