متن کاملDEM 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...

متن کاملCoastal mangrove forests mitigated tsunami
A study conducted after the 26th of December 2004 tsunami in 18 coastal hamlets along the south-east coast of India reiterates the importance of coastal mangrove vegetations and location characteristics of human inhabitation to protect lives and wealth from the fury of tsunami. The tsunami caused human death and loss of wealth and these decreased with the area of coastal vegetation, distance an...
متن کاملVegetation controls on the maximum size of coastal dunes.
Coastal dunes, in particular foredunes, support a resilient ecosystem and reduce coastal vulnerability to storms. In contrast to dry desert dunes, coastal dunes arise from interactions between biological and physical processes. Ecologists have traditionally addressed coastal ecosystems by assuming that they adapt to preexisting dune topography, whereas geomorphologists have studied the properti...
