Remote-sensing technologies—such as video imagery, aerial photography, satellite imagery, structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry, and lidar (laser-based surveying)— can be used to measure change along U.S. coastlines. Quantifying coastal change is essential for calculating trends in erosion and accretion, evaluating processes that shape coastal landscapes, and predicting how the coast will respond to future natural disasters (e.g. hurricanes, landslides, wildfires) and longer term climate trends such (e.g. sea-level rise, ecosystem change, coral bleaching), all critical for U.S. coastal communities. Rapid developments have occurred in remote-sensing technologies during the 21st century. With collaborators...
