Study on the shoreline evolution of the Nha Trang bay after typhoon Nariusing video-camera technique

Abstract

      Recently, beside traditional methods which measure basic data of hydrodynamics and sediment characteristic, for investigate shoreline evolution, video camera-based remote sensing is particularly well suited to monitoring shoreline evolution as a new method for observation and monitoring shoreline. It covers timescales from seconds to years and spatial scales from meters to kilometers and possible for monitoring beach morphology as well as dominant factors governing evolution in the nearshore area. The paper presents results on studying shoreline evolution after typhoon Nari (Typhoon No.11) of Nha Trang bay, Khanh Hoa province using video camera technique, within framework of protocol research project with France "Study on hydrodynamics and sediment transport in estuarine and coastal zones of Nha Trang bay, Khanh Hoa province".
