“…The tsunami that struck the Indian Ocean in 2004 played a significant role in altering the coastal shorelines of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Generated by a massive 9.3-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, this powerful tsunami led to the displacement of a vast quantity of water, causing waves to travel at high speeds across the ocean [42]. As these waves reached coastal areas, they brought massive amounts of energy with them, resulting in substantial alterations to the coastal shorelines.…”

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami significantly impacted the coastal shoreline of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, causing widespread destruction of infrastructure and ecological damage. This study aims to analyze the short- and long-term shoreline changes in South Andaman, focusing on 2004–2005 (pre- and post-tsunami) and 1990–2023 (to assess periodic changes). Using remote sensing techniques and geospatial tools such as the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS), shoreline change rates were calculated in four zones, revealing the extent of the tsunami’s impact. During the pre- and post-tsunami periods, the maximum coastal erosion rate was −410.55 m/year, while the maximum accretion was 359.07 m/year in zone A, the island’s east side. For the 1990–2023 period, the most significant coastal shoreline erosion rate was also recorded in zone A, which was recorded at −2.3 m/year. After analyzing the result, it can be seen that the tsunami severely affected the island’s east side. To validate the coastal shoreline measurements, the root mean square error (RMSE) of Landsat-7 and Google Earth was 18.53 m, enabling comparisons of the accuracy of different models on the same dataset. The results demonstrate the extensive impact of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami on South Andaman’s coastal shoreline and the value of analyzing shoreline changes to understand the short- and long-term consequences of such events on coastal ecosystems. This information can inform conservation efforts, management strategies, and disaster response plans to mitigate future damage and allocate resources more efficiently. By better understanding the impact of tsunamis on coastal shorelines, emergency responders, government agencies, and conservationists can develop more effective strategies to protect these fragile ecosystems and the communities that rely on them.

“…However, these concentrate on the midlatitudes, in particular along the sandy coasts of Australia (e.g., Short and Hesp, 1982; Oliver et al, 2015), North America (e.g., Mallinson et al, 2008; Shawler et al, 2021), and Europe (e.g., Faye et al 2019; Nielsen et al 2006). In contrast, the number of comprehensive and systematic studies using a combination of at least several of the abovementioned methods in Southeast (SE) Asia is still rather low (e.g., Hanebuth et al, 2011; Mallinson et al, 2014; Brill et al, 2015; Gouramanis et al, 2020; Kongsen et al, 2022). In particular, age control of deposition is often limited to a rather low number of radiocarbon and/or OSL samples.…”

Beach ridges are depositional features that allow reconstruction of past sea-level variations, sediment dynamics, and storm activity. However, there are still very few systematic studies focusing on beach ridges available from the Gulf of Thailand. Along the east coast, satellite images provide evidence of beach ridges in the Chanthaburi Province, extending as far as 6 km inland, oriented parallel to the current coastline. These can be divided into a set of landward ridges (5.3–6.0 km inland) and seaward ridges (0.4–1.8 km inland) that are separated by an arm of the Chanthaburi estuary. Optically stimulated luminescence dating of 26 sand samples from 12 pits of ridge profiles suggests that the landward set of beach ridges formed ca. 3500 yr ago, while the seaward set of ridges formed between ca. 2100–1200 years ago, which also includes the modern active beach. It appears that the landward set of beach ridges developed during a period of relatively stable sea level followed by a rapid regression presently occupied by the arm of the Chanthaburi estuary. The seaward set of beach ridges apparently reflects a millennium of slowly retreating coastline until the modern beach ridge formed.
