Geospatial Application of Coastal Hazards
Springer Nature
This book pose significant risks to human populations, infrastructure, and ecosystems. The volume Geospatial Application of Coastal Hazards -Monitoring, Mitigation, Adaptation and Prediction’ is an innovator attempt that aims to explore all the phenomenon. Coastal hazard monitoring, mitigation, adaptation, and prediction can benefit greatly from geospatial applications. Geospatial analysis allows for the identification of areas at risk and vulnerable to coastal hazards such as storm surges, sea-level rise, and erosion. By integrating various data sources like topography, hydrology, climate data, and satellite imagery, decision-makers can assess the exposure and vulnerability of coastal zones. Geospatial big data solutions hold the potential to improve risk-based decision making in coastal areas. By analyzing and integrating high-resolution data, decision-makers can generate robust risk profiles and develop effective strategies for coastal regions. Remote sensing techniques, including satellite imagery, can provide valuable information for monitoring and mapping coastal hazards. Geospatial techniques, such as digital elevation models and spatial analysis, help in understanding…
