Beschreibung
This SpringerBrief uses geospatial techniques to assess shoreline change dynamics in the Indian Sundarban, a unique region located in the delta of three major rivers - the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna – in India and Bangladesh. It is one of the largest mangrove forests in the world. The geomorphological characteristics of this region are quite distinct from other parts of India due to its low elevation, high tidal range, and vast expanse of shallow water bodies. The chapters here cover the basics of the use of geoinformatics applications for shoreline analysis and move to a detailed description of both short- and long-term shoreline change using automated Digital Shoreline Change Analysis (DSAS). The book also covers erosion-accretion hazard zone mapping and shoreline vegetation mapping.
