QGIS Shoreline Change Analysis Tool (QSCAT): A fast, open-source shoreline change analysis plugin for QGIS
Coastal erosion poses a significant threat to most coastal communities. This necessitates a better understanding of coastal erosion dynamics, and thus, shoreline change analysis (SCA) tools would be handy. However, many available tools require commercial softwares and/or a faster computing platform. To address these issues, QGIS’ Shoreline Change Analysis Tool (QSCAT), a new QGIS plugin built with Python, was developed. QSCAT can perform transect-based and area-based analyses. The transect-based algorithm of QSCAT was patterned after the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS). Whereas, the area-based algorithm is similar to the change polygon method. Running QSCAT and DSAS together demonstrated that QSCAT generated the same results as DSAS but its overall speed is 8 times faster than DSAS. QSCAT can estimate beach area loss and length of eroding shorelines, which can identify erosion hotspots. These features attest to QSCAT’s potential as a more efficient and an equally reliable SCA tool.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Modelling & Software publishes contributions, in the form of research articles, reviews and short communications, on recent advances in environmental modelling and/or software. The aim is to improve our capacity to represent, understand, predict or manage the behaviour of environmental systems at all practical scales, and to communicate those improvements to a wide scientific and professional audience.
