Abstract
This study explains the multi-decadal shoreline changes along the coast of Kanyakumari from 1980 to 2020. The shorelines are extracted from the Landsat images to estimate the shoreline dynamics and future predictions using Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS). By the estimation of End Point Rate (EPR) and Linear Regression Rate (LRR), it is quantified that the maximum erosion is 5.01 m/yr (EPR) and 6.13 m/yr (LRR) consistently with the maximum accretion of 3.77 m/yr (EPR) and 3.11 m/yr (LRR) along the entire coastal stretch of 77 km. The future shoreline predicted using the Kalman filter forecasted that Inayam, Periyakattuthurai and Kodimunai are highly prone to erosion with a shift of 170 m, 157 m and 145 m by 2030 and 194 m, 182 m and 165 m by 2040 towards the land. Also, the western coast is highly prone to erosion and it is predicted that certain villages are prone to loss of economy and livelihood. The outcome of this study may guide the coastal researchers to understand the evolution and decision-makers to evolve with alternative sustainable management plans in the future.
期刊介绍:
Geodesy and Geodynamics launched in October, 2010, and is a bimonthly publication. It is sponsored jointly by Institute of Seismology, China Earthquake Administration, Science Press, and another six agencies. It is an international journal with a Chinese heart. Geodesy and Geodynamics is committed to the publication of quality scientific papers in English in the fields of geodesy and geodynamics from authors around the world. Its aim is to promote a combination between Geodesy and Geodynamics, deepen the application of Geodesy in the field of Geoscience and quicken worldwide fellows'' understanding on scientific research activity in China. It mainly publishes newest research achievements in the field of Geodesy, Geodynamics, Science of Disaster and so on. Aims and Scope: new theories and methods of geodesy; new results of monitoring and studying crustal movement and deformation by using geodetic theories and methods; new ways and achievements in earthquake-prediction investigation by using geodetic theories and methods; new results of crustal movement and deformation studies by using other geologic, hydrological, and geophysical theories and methods; new results of satellite gravity measurements; new development and results of space-to-ground observation technology.
