Principal Component Analysis of Morphology Change at a Tidal Inlet: Shinnecock Inlet, New York

A method to estimate the longshore sediment transport at ebb‐tidal deltas based on their volumetric growth: Application to the Guadiana (Spain–Portugal border)

“…Examples include ebb deltas subject to extensive dredging of the outer shoal, affected by jetty or breakwater installation or created by (artificial or natural) barrier breaching (e.g. Hansen and Knowles, ; Kana and McKee, ; Vila‐Concejo et al ., ; Castelle et al ., ; Buonaiuto et al ., ; Dabees and Kraus, ; Patsch and Griggs, ; Kaminsky e t al ., ; Cox and Howe, ; Beck and Wang, ). Overall, the approach provides an alternative means to constrain the average LST rate over decades that smooths out any shorter‐term variability.…”

Transverse and Longitudinal Eigenfunction Analysis of a Navigation Channel Subject to Regular Dredgings: The Adour River Mouth, France

“…HORRILLO-CARABALLO et al (2002) pointed out the existence of a periodic morphodynamic evolution of the Humber estuary, on the east coast of Britain. More recently, BUONAIUTO (2003) presented an analysis of Shinnecock Inlet, Long Island, USA, and explained the redistribution of sediment due to channel deflection and reorientation; while RIHOUEY and MARON (2003) suggested the usefulness of eigenfunction analysis to study dredging or dumping sites.…”

Mapping coastal morphodynamics with geospatial techniques, Cape Henry, Virginia, USA

“…For example, Ventura and Irvin (2000) combined coastal DEMs and soils data for automated landform classification by ISODATA cluster analysis of characteristics. Further, Buonaito et al (2008) used morphological variables and Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to identify dominant patterns of change in morphology of a tidal inlet (channels, bars, shoals, and bypass bars). Kim and Yu (2009) have illustrated the additional utility of vegetation and soils along with DEMs for mapping coastal dune ecological features.…”
