The Norwegian Coastal Current transports natural debris and plastic waste along the coastline. Deposition occurs in so-called wreck-bays includes floating debris, such as seaweed, driftwood volcanic pumice, increasing amounts of plastics during last decades. these bays is controlled by ocean currents, tidal movements, prevailing winds coastal morphology. We have compared soil profiles, analyzed...

A complete, high-resolution coastline of Antarctica, extracted from an orthorectified mosaic of Radarsat-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images through a sequence of automated image processing algorithms, is presented. A locally adaptive thresholding method is used to segment the orthorectified SAR images, while image-object formation and labeling, and edgetracing techniques are used to proces...

1-Introduction The location of shorelines and the state of their changes in the past, present and over time are important for scientists, engineers and managers. For example, analyzing shoreline information for coastal protection design, policy development, updating and reviewing numerical models, assessing sea level rise, developing risk areas for coastal development, achieving the definition...

Ningbo City in Zhejiang Province is one of the largest port cities in China and has achieved high economic development during the past decades. The port construction, land reclamation, urban development and silt deposition in the Ningbo coastal zone have resulted in extensive coastline change. In this study, the spatio-temporal change of the Ningbo coastlines during 1976–2015 was detected and a...

We investigate through numerical simulations of a simple sea-coast mechanical erosion model, the effect of spatial long-range correlations in the lithology of coastal landscapes on the fractal behavior of the corresponding coastlines. In the model, the resistance of a coast section to erosion depends on the local lithology configuration as well as on the number of neighboring sea sides. For wea...
