The future of coastal monitoring through satellite remote sensing

Abstract: Satellite remote sensing is transforming coastal science from a 'data-poor' field into a 'data-rich' field. Sandy beaches are dynamic landscapes that change in response to long-term pressures, short-term pulses, and anthropogenic interventions. Until recently, the rate and breadth of beach change has outpaced our ability to monitor those changes, due to the spatiotemporal limitations of our observational capacity. Over the past several decades, only a handful of beaches worldwide have been regularly monitored … Show more

“…The hybridization of models and observations for coastal‐change prediction is becoming increasingly viable because of earth‐observing satellites. For the first time, satellites can provide coastal data at the scales of models and models at the scales of data (Vitousek et al., 2023a). And eventually, with perhaps another decade of research and development, the field could develop coupled monitoring and modeling systems at national to global scales.…”

“…Further, satellite‐derived workflows are becoming increasingly automated, in contrast to workflows relying on GPS or Lidar data. Thus, satellite‐derived shoreline observations are becoming an increasingly attractive component of operational shoreline prediction systems (Vitousek et al., 2023a). The methods and models described herein might serve as an initial concept for components of a future, operational coastal‐change monitoring and prediction system.…”

“…Remote sensing technologies such as optical, radar, and LiDAR, offer unique advantages for studying sediment dynamic processes on deltas, beaches, dunes, and barrier islands; coastal processes in erosional landscapes, such as rocky cliffs, forcing mechanisms of coastal processes such as waves, tides, and currents; and coastal geomorphology and evolution. Additionally, close-range remote sensing applications, such as planes or UAVs, as well as onsite cameras or webcams, offer valuable data for studying the coastal environment at a high spatiotemporal resolution and accuracy [1][2][3][4][5].…”
