ShorelineMonitor

In the past, scientists had to measure beaches by hand and plane. Today's computer-based method features less sand between the toes, but is far more accurate and much faster. Thanks @NASA_Landsat! #ThursdayThoughts #sciencematters @NASAGoddard @BeachMonitor

@DEXTHEMUSICMAN @NASA @NASAEarth If you are interested in shoreline changes derived from satellite images for Hawaii for the last 3 months, let me know. We developed shoreline detection methods as described in nature.com/articles/s4159…

@NASA @NASAEarth I'm gonna need images of the big island over the last 3 months!!! It's for a project... #erosion #creation #Kilauea #lavaextensions

Beaches are constantly changing & teams using our 30-yr record of @NASAEarth images have found that sandy shorelines have increased slightly on a global scale over the past 3 decades, but decreased in protected marine areas, where many beaches are eroding: nasa.tumblr.com/post/176022818…

@NASA @NASAEarth Global shoreline changes can now be inspected at shorelinemonitor.deltares.nl as described in The State of the World's Beaches: nature.com/articles/s4159…

>12 km beach disappearing at an extreme rate of 15 m/yr! at Rockefeller reserve, Louisiana, USA @LDWF

and the accomponying shoreline positions derived from satellite imagery. @NASA_Landsat

Extreme shoreline retreat in Mekong Delta in Vietnam: ~30 m/yr and ongoing!

Nice article (in Dutch in Leeuwarder Courant) on local erosion using screenshots of the #shorelinemonitor Shorelinemonitor.deltares.nl lc.nl/friesland/Stra…

Check the coastal erosion of 40 m/yr in the period 1986-2016 at the east coast of the barrier island of Terschelling.

@SKB_Geo @simongerman600 Easier URL is: Shorelinemonitor.deltares.nl Have fun!
