"Climate change events such as variations in sea surface temperature, sea-level rise and human activities such as sand removal or constructions are some of the causes for shoreline changes".

Learn about the major components of a shoreline, causes for shoreline changes, effects of sea-level rise on coastlines, and more...

Through this session, you will be able to:

• Identify the main geological features of shorelines, including beach environments
• Summarize techniques used for shoreline characterization with remotely sensed data

Attendees who have not completed the Fundamentals of Remote Sensing may not be prepared for the pace of the training.
