Some Notes on Sea-level Change around the Australian Coastline
نویسنده
چکیده
A proper understanding of the risk associated with sea-level change can only be attained by adherence to accurate terminology. In particular, it is vital to recognize the distinction between changes in eustatic sea-level, which correspond to changes in a notional world-wide average, and changes in local relative sea-level (LRSL), which correspond to changes in actual sea-levels at real and particular coastal locations.

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Coasts maintain their natural sustainability without human intervention and in spite of short-term changes, we are ultimately confronted with a coastal healthy environment, i.e. natural, rocky beaches, sandy beaches and so on. Today's use of remote sensing in most natural sciences is widespread. Due to the fact that fieldwork is costly and time-consuming, ...
متن کاملAnalysis and Prediction of Changes in Coastline Morphology in the Bohai Sea, China, Using Remote Sensing
Coastline change reflects the dynamics of natural processes and human activity, and influences the ecology and environment of the coastal strip. This study researched the change in coastline and sea area of the Bohai Sea, China, over a 30-year period using Landsat TM and OLI remote sensing data. The total change in coastline length, sea area, and the centroid of the sea surface were quantified....

The southern coastline of Australia forms part of the worlds' only northern boundary current system. The Bonney Upwelling occurs every austral summer along the south-eastern South Australian coastline, a region that hosts over 80% of the worlds population of an endangered endemic otariid, the Australian sea lion. We present the first data on the movement characteristics and foraging behaviour o...
متن کاملTwo Centuries of Climate Change and Climate Variability, East Coast Australia
On the east Australian coast, climate change is expressed as a slowly rising sea level. Analysis of records, dating back over two centuries, also shows oscillating multidecadal ‘storm’ and ‘drought’ dominated climate periods that are distinct from long-term climate change. Climate variability, as expressed by these distinct multidecadal periods, is generally associated with phases of the Interd...
