“…Classical examples of this kind of installations are the Field Research Facility operated since 1980 by the US Army Coastal Engineering Research Centre at Duck (Larson and Kraus, 1994;Miller and Dean, 2007), the US Geological Survey station at the Columbia River Littoral Cell in the Pacifi c coast (Ruggiero and Voigt, 2000) or the JARKUS data set in the Dutch coast (Wijnberg and Terwindt, 1995). Other recent development that must be considered are the Gold Coast shoreline and wave record obtained by the Northern Gold Coasts Beach Protection Strategy in southeast Australia (Boak et al, 2000) or the POL Liverpool Bay Coastal Observatory (Proctor et al, 2004).…”

A low cost, automated, remote monitoring video system built on standard commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components and implemented with open source software is presented. The system has been implemented in a coastal area to perform image acquisition and processing, generating statistical products and transferring the information from the fi eld to a central node where post-processing and data visualization are made available to the general public. The open structure of the software allows the user to implement new routines and modules appropriate to fi t specifi c needs as well as to adapt the system to study other dynamical processes where continuous observation is required. The software and image data base can be obtained as freeware.

“…The area encompasses a diverse range of features including sandy beaches, estuaries, coastal lagoons and artificial waterways and is highly vulnerable to SLR. In this region, the maximum tidal range is 1.8m, and on average, the coast is affected by 1.5 cyclones each year (Boak et al, 2001). Many of the residential areas in the city are filled to the 1:100 year flood level (Betts, 2002).…”

There is a strong link between decision making and environmental stresses. Two dilemmas confront decision makers: how and when to adapt to sea level rise, due to complexities of environmental systems and the changing nature of the decision making process. This process is inherently complex and often involves many stakeholders with conflicting views. Considering the complexity and dynamic nature of coastal systems, this paper introduces a Spatial Temporal Decision framework to assess coastal vulnerability, and the adaptation alternatives to SLR. The STD is based upon a combination of: System Dynamics modelling; Geographical Information Systems modelling; and multicriteria analyses of stakeholders' views using the Analytical Hierarchy Process. For case study analyses, the City of the Gold Coast located in Southeast Queensland, Australia has been selected. The results of the vulnerability assessment indicate that, at the end of a 100 year simulation period, approximately 6 % of the landscape in the study area will be gradually inundated over time, with 0.5 cm rise per year. However, the percentage of the vulnerable area leapt to about 34 % for Scenario 2, and 56 % for Scenario 3, which represent 1 cm and 1.5 cm rise per year. Using the information obtained from vulnerability assessments, three stakeholder groups (Politicians, Experts and Residents) were consulted to determine the goal, criteria and adaptation alternatives for the multicriteria analyses. Analyses of survey data reveal that across the three stakeholder groups, Effectiveness and Sustainability are the criteria of highest priority.

“…However the tourist economy is at risk of significant losses due to beach erosion during major storm events. The Northern Gold Coast Beach Protection Strategy (NGCBPS) was a long-term, sustainable plan to maintain and enhance the beaches at the northern Gold Coast [34]. As a part of the NGCBPS, over 1.2 million cubic metres of sediment were deposited on the northern Gold Coast beaches and within the nearshore to increase beach amenity and widen the beaches as preparation for future storm events.…”

The measurement and monitoring of shoreline changes are of great interest to coastal managers and engineers. Shoreline change information can be crucial for the assessment of coastal disasters, design of coastal infrastructure and protection of coastal environment. This chapter presents shoreline change monitoring based on multispectral satellite imagery and sub-pixel technique. Firstly, a brief introduction of shoreline definitions and indicators is given. Sub-pixel techniques for shoreline mapping on multispectral satellite images are then introduced. Following that, a brief review of existing research studies of long-term shoreline change monitoring based on multispectral imagery is given. Subsequently, a case study of sub-pixel shoreline change monitoring at the northern Gold Coast on the east coast of Australia is presented. By comparing the longshore averaged beach widths at seven representative transects from Landsat with those from Argus imaging data, the RMSEs range from 9.1 to 12.3 m and the correlations are all no less than 0.7. Annual means and variabilities of beach widths were estimated without significant differences from the reference data for most of the results. Finally, conclusions and recommendations for future work are given.
