Title: Study on RS and GIS-Based Shoreline Evolution of the Yellow River Estuary
Abstract:It extracts shoreline,conducts superposition analysis and compares temporal and spatial dynamic characteristics of shoreline evolution in 1986-2006 periods by using SPOT and ETM data of the Yellow Riv...It extracts shoreline,conducts superposition analysis and compares temporal and spatial dynamic characteristics of shoreline evolution in 1986-2006 periods by using SPOT and ETM data of the Yellow River estuary.The outcomes show that a) the general trend of shoreline evolution of the Yellow River estuary deposits and expands towards the sea area continuously;b) the continent-making of north river branch speeds up and the south side is eroded when the Yellow River flows into the sea from the north branch.The main affecting factors of shoreline evolution are the quantity of coming water and sediment,geological characteristics of rock and soil mass of bank slope,ocean dynamic,sea level rise and surface depression.Read More
