Environmental perverse incentives in coastal monitoring
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2013It can be argued that the intensity of monitoring of coastal marine environments lags behind the equivalent terrestrial environments. This results in a paucity of long-term time series of key environmental parameters such as turbidity. This lack of management information of the sources and sinks, and causes and impacts of stressors to the coastal ...

Monitoring the Coastal Environment
Geology, 1974The coast is a vital area for environmental monitoring because of its importance to man. The morphology, material, and processes of the coastal environment can be monitored by making beach profiles and maps; measuring size, shape, and roundness of beach material and noting its mineralogy and location; and recording waves, currents, and winds.

Video system for coastal monitoring
2008The use of video cameras for coastal management is now a valuable system for the control of morphodynamics and hydrodynamics in the coastal environment, and also for the control of ship traffic, tourist flow, etc. The aim of this paper is to present the video systems developed for the videomonitoring of the coastal zone in Europe, and applied during ...

Monitoring of topographic change on the coastal area
2011 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2011Coastal shoreline movement due to erosion and deposition is a major concern for coastal zone management. Shoreline changes by natural cause or development constructions. Shoreline change is threatening and destroying living things in the marine environment. Topography of coastal area changes frequently due to a drastic sediment movement. In this study,

Monitoring Completed Coastal Projects
Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 1995A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers program has been established to monitor completed coastal projects. Reports have been made to date for 12 projects, evaluating their functional and structural performance. Projects monitored are located on the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf, and Great Lakes coastlines. Project monitoring includes: jettied inlets, including inlet

Integrated coastal water monitoring
Coastal Management, 1997Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are important took for environmental monitoring and management. However, their limitations in dealing with complex, dynamic, and mission‐critical situations call for alternative approaches. Integrating GIS with dynamic simulation models offers one such solution.

Monitoring the Coastal Groundwater of Bangladesh
2018The low-lying topography and geographic position makes Bangladesh very vulnerable regarding the anticipated impacts of climate change that likely affects nearly all sectors of socio-economic life, where water sector is the most vulnerable and sensitive among them and country’s coastal areas are at the greatest risk. The primary source of fresh water in

Collaborative and flexible processing infrastructure for coastal monitoring
2015 3rd Experiment International Conference (exp.at'15), 2015Coastline Watch aims to assess the best practices to continuously monitor changes caused by natural processes (such as waves, tides and currents) and strengthen by human intervention or global climate changes. The current solution processes coastal information from Satellite open data for monitoring and makes insitu measurements using Unmanned Aerial ...
