Remote Sensing Techniques and Numerical Modelling to Predict Coastal Erosion in Vietnam
Marius Sokolewicz, Laura Bergsma, Loek Schemmekes, Hoan Nguyen, and Stef Boersen
Abstract: Accurate prediction of coastal erosion is of importance for the investment planning of measures enhancing resilience to natural hazards. Field data on historical is generally lacking. Recent advances in deriving historical shoreline position from freely available satellite images combined with numerical modelling of shoreline erosion provide a reliable method for prediction of coastal erosion. This paper discusses the available tools and presents their application in a study case in Quang Ngai City, Vietnam.
Key words: coastal erosion, remote sensing, satellite-derived shorelines, typhoon modelling, profile evolution modelling
