Shoreline changes in Concón and Algarrobo bays, central Chile, using an adjustment model

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Adjustment models for both Algarrobo and Concón bays, central Chile, are presented herein; the results show a nearly logarithmic spiral shape for the shore. Spatial-temporal variations in the shorelines of both bays were found based on aerial photographs from different years. The results indicate important variations in the relative position of the Concón Bay shoreline between 1945 and 2006, with extreme oscillations (-368 to 123.8 m) only occurring in the proximal zone, where the Aconcagua Estuary i… Show more

“…Scientific evidence of erosion in Central Chile is scarce and has only established partial hypothesis on the role of the agents causing shoreline retreat (Martínez et al, 2007(Martínez et al, , 2011. During the analyzed period, three large subduction earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 8.0 and associated tsunamis (2010, 2014 and 2015) as well as smaller earthquakes (1985 and 1995) have caused severe morphological changes in different regions of the CCZ, to which the effects of storm surges and meteotsunamis are added (Carvajal et al, 2017).…”

“…Up to date, coastal erosion in Chile has not been comprehensively studied. On a decadal scale, some bays in the central region have remained stable or shown an erosive trend (Martínez, 2007; Martínez and Salinas, 2009; Martínez et al, 2011). In addition to oceanographic and anthropogenic causes, some of these changes are associated geophysical phenomena, namely, megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis.…”

“…Currently, beach monitoring has been carried out with conventional techniques (GPS, in situ topography) [3,[10][11][12][13] and recently with satellite images (MONCOSTA, SI-MONA Coastal video monitoring). The different methods of coastal measurement are compatible and complementary to each other.…”

“…Reñaca tiene una morfología cambiante, mostrándose más plana como consecuencia de las marejadas. Algarrobo se caracteriza por un extenso litoral arenoso en sus zonas central y distal, con aportes sedimentarios locales a través de los estuarios El Membrillo y San Jerónimo (Martínez 2007).…”

“…En el área de estudio los anchos críticos con valores inferiores a 15 m se localizan en la zona proximal. En la Bahía de Concón con un promedio de 12,3 m y una desviación estándar de 10,5 m. En la desembocadura del río Aconcagua las variaciones de los anchos oscilan en promedio 73,6 m, desviación estándar de 32,9 m y ancho máximo de 157 m, este sector muestra fuerte dinámica sedimentaria (Martínez 2007). Las zonas central y distal de la bahía de Concón se mantuvieron estables.…”
