Description: Airborne laser bathymetric (ALB) systems rapidly acquire large, high-quality datasets via variable swath widths that are independent of water depth. Laser bathymetric survey tools have applicability in clear coastal (Case II) waters down to 270 meters depth. Deployed along the southeast Florida (Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties)coast, an advanced ALB system provided a continuous… more

Publisher: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, Inc.
Description: Remote sensing of coastal marine environments has long challenged coastal researchers who have searched for automated methods based on supervised classifications. Due to complexities in water clarity and attenuation of spectral reflection with water depth, this study focused on visual interpretation of IKONOS satellite images in an effort to ascertain the general nature of bottom types.… more

Description: The subtropical Atlantic coastal zone of southeastern Florida supports nearly 7 million inhabitants on a coastal plain conurbation that stretches from West Palm Beach to Miami. About a quarter of the present population originally settled on higher topography along the shore-parallel Atlantic Coastal Ridge. From about the middle 1900s, however, urbanization intensified along the shore and spread… more

Publisher: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, Inc.
Description: Many different kinds of classification have been applied to coasts in attempts to characterize dominant features in terms of physical or biological properties, modes of evolution, or geographic occurrence. Some of the earlier general classifications were broad in scope but lacked specificity while other specialized systems were narrowly focused, providing uneven coverage of taxonomic units for… more

Contributors: Benedet, Lindino, Campbell, Thomas, Finkl, Charles W.
Publisher: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, Inc.
Description: This paper reviews physical, geologic and environmental parameters of Louisiana barrier islands to support the definition of regional strategies and management practices for long-term coastal restoration. For management purposes the barrier island systems of Louisiana are divided into a series of coastal segments to be maintained over the long term. Recommendations are drawn for each coastal… more

Contributors: Finkl, Charles W., Warner, Mathew T.
Publisher: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, Inc.
Description: Submarine morphological features along the southeast Florida coast in central Palm Beach County were mapped from large-scale aerial images (acquisition scale 1:3900) that permitted feature resolution in water depths of 10 to 15 m. The analog stereo-paired images were scanned to black and white digital images that were georegistered for inclusion in a spatial analysis program. Interpretive… more
