Analysis of Coastal Zone Data of Northern Yantai Collected by Remote Sensing from 1990 to 2018

Abstract

Using remote sensing images of different time phases from 1990 to 2018, the surface coverage information of northern Yantai (coastline, 2 km from coastline to land) was extracted by means of average high tide line and visual interpretation. The end point change rate (EPR) and linear regression rate were used to study the coastline change rate, the fractal dimension of the coastline in the study area was analyzed, and the change of the type of coastal surface cover was analyzed by the transition matrix. The results show that: (1) Form 1990 to 2018, a significant trend of a continuous increase in the total length of coastline was observed with an increase of 181.08 km (43.18%). In the study area, the coastline of Laizhou had the greatest change rate with an EPR value of 33.67 m/a, whereas the coastline of Laishan had the smallest change rate with an EPR value of 0.30 m/a. (2) Over the past 30 years, with the rapid economic development of Yantai and the ensuant urbanization, the total surface area of the coastal zone in the study area has increased by 144.94 km2, mainly in the areas covered by structures and forests/grasses, by 112.96 km2 and 96.08 km2, respectively, while the areas of desert/bare land and water have decreased by 92.26 km2 and 12.32 km2, respectively. (3) The changes among different types in the study area were clear, mainly from desert/bare land, cultivated land, and building areas to forests/grasses cover and structures. The change areas were mainly concentrated in Laizhou, Longkou, Zhifu, and Penglai. Frequent human activities are an important factor affecting the continuous expansion of the coastal areas of Jiaodong Peninsula to the sea. Aquaculture, coastal construction, construction of artificial islands, and expansion of port terminals have seriously affected the sustainability of ecological resources in the coastal areas. At the same time, the changes in the ecological environment in the coastal zone will have a greater impact on the health of the coastal zone.

A Study on Hydrochemical Characteristics and Evolution Processes of Groundwater in the Coastal Area of the Dagujia River Basin, China

“…Overall, the correlation analysis revealed that groundwater chemical characteristics were mainly related to rock weathering and anthropogenic activities. In addition, the effect of saline water interactions contributed significantly to the increase in the hydrochemical parameters contents of the coastal QA, which is consistent with previous studies carried out in the same study area [15,18,41]. On the other hand, HCO 3 − showed moderate positive correlations with Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ in both aquifers, while SO 4 2− revealed a moderate to good positive correlation with Ca 2+ , suggesting carbonates and sulfate minerals dissolutions.…”

Tiga dekade laju perubahan garis pantai di Kota Dumai

“…Garis pantai dalam kajian ini adalah garis air pada saat perekaman citra satelit (Sui et al, 2020). Esmail et al (2019) melakukan perbandingan tiga metode ekstraksi garis pantai, yaitu squared error clustering method (SECM), penggunaan nilai ambang batas dan digitasi, dan menyimpulkan metode SECM adalah metode terbaik, tetapi metode tradisional melalui interpretasi visual manusia dan interaksi komputer masih umum digunakan para ahli untuk mendeliniasi garis pantai (Zhou et al, 2019). Oleh karena itu kajian ini mengadopsi metode tersebut.…”

A Spatiotemporal Change Detection Analysis of Coastline Data in Qingdao, East China

“…e method of coastline interpretation includes visual interpretation and automated remote sensing image interpretation [51]. Methods of automatic analysis, such as the edge detection algorithm, the mathematical morphology algorithm, the region-growing algorithm, the data mining method, and the neural network method proposed in recent years, are widely used around the world, but conventional methods, such as the visual interpretation of human-computer interaction, are still widely used by experts to extract coastal information [52]. e method of human-computer integrated visual perception was therefore adopted in this article.…”
