Monitoring Shore Protection Projects along the Florida Panhandle Using Three-Dimensional Spatial Data
Publication: Coastal Engineering Practice (2011)
Abstract
Shore protection projects are designed to improve the resiliency of the coastal area, particularly for areas that are vulnerable to extreme storm events. Having multiple surveys for the area allows for change detection of geomorphic features and the condition of the nourishment project to be identified. Methods to identify geomorphic features for change detection have been developed using three-dimensional spatial data to assist in the monitoring efforts of shore protection projects. The spatial variation for the beach system, including the dune peak elevations, beach width, and volume, are monitored for several surveys for change detection and to identify areas of vulnerability, since having dunes and a wide beach increases the resiliency of a coastal region.
