Harnessing Earth Observation for Coastal Engineering addresses the intersection of cutting-edge geoinformatics technologies and coastal engineering to tackle challenges in coastal processes and natural hazards. By offering robust methodologies and algorithms, the book equips students, researchers, and engineers with practical tools for immediate application. The global, real-world case studies provide insights into diverse decision-making tools and global perspectives on geoinformatics in coastal engineering and examples of the methodology in action. It goes on to promote protection and resilience by integrating geoinformatics seamlessly into coastal engineering practices, advancing knowledge and practice in the field.
Users will find a great resource that not only addresses the pressing need for leveraging modern remote sensing and GIS technologies but also provides a blend of research insights and practical applications exploring advanced algorithms and techniques, allowing readers to effectively utilize new sensor data, extract vital information, and implement sustainable solutions in coastal zones worldwide.
