Coastal Erosion Affecting Cultural Heritage in Svalbard. A Case Study in Hiorthhamn (Adventfjorden)—An Abandoned Mining Settlement

Abstract: Hiorthhamn is an abandoned Norwegian coal mining settlement with a loading dock and a lot of industrial infrastructure left in the coastal zone. In this study, changes in the position of 1.3 km of the Hiorthhamn shoreline, which affect cultural heritage, is described for a time-period spanning 92 years . The shoreline positions were established based on a map (1927), orthophotos (2009) and a topographic survey with differential Global Positioning System (GPS) (summer 2019). Detailed geomorphological and surfac… Show more

“…Shoreline dynamics were realised with the help of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) tool [38], an extension of ArcGIS; this tool is widely used at a global level to determine the erosion/accretion rates of coastlines [14,21]. The data used to compile the different temporal shorelines were gathered from historical maps from 1927, aerial images from 2009, and field surveys from August 2019 and 2020; more details about the data are available at Nicu et al, 2020 [21]. For this study, we focused our attention on the End Point Rate (EPR) parameter, which shows the average erosion rate.…”

“…The confidence interval in DSAS was set at 95%. Field data acquisition is the same as [21]. Besides the erosion rate estimates, the shoreline forecast tool was also employed, based on historical shoreline data positions for the next 10 and 20 years, respectively; this comes along with the uncertainty bands that consider any positional and measurement uncertainties.…”
