Monitoring of Chilika Lake mouth dynamics and quantifying rate of shoreline change using 30 m multi-temporal Landsat data.

ABSTRACT: Coastal erosion is one of the major and serious concerns for coastal communities residing in the low lying areas, especially near to estuary delta regions. These regions see lots of anthropogenic activities such as economic development, infrastructure and human settlement especially in rapidly developing countries such as India. Shoreline change is a natural process that occurs in coastal areas. But due to the stresses happening in the coast because of anthropogenic activities, understanding how shorelines change over time is important for sustainable management of coast. A crucial aspect of shoreline change monitoring is to identify the location and change over time which can be achieved by developing monitoring strategies using satellite remote sensing data. Performing shoreline change a
