Remote Sensing Application in Coastal Engineering

It is inevitable to use of Remote Sensing technologies in the research studies of coastal/ocean engineering sciences.

The application of satellite imagery based analysis ranging from,

• Analysing long-term shoreline positions
• Influence of Land-Use & Land-Cover (LULC) on the shoreline oscillations
• Assessment of trajectories of oil spill & area of spread
• Estimation of nearshore bathymetry
• Automated shoreline detections
• Estimation of physical oceanographic parameters, such as sea-surface temperature, salinity, chlorpyll etc.
• Estimation of temporally & spatially varying suspended sediment concentrations.
• UAV based estimation of coastal topographies.

Some of the satellite imageries based analysis have been validated with available and our own field measurements.
