Dynamics of coastline changes in Mexico

Abstract: The goal of our work was to locate and quantify changes that occurred in 66% of the Mexican coastline, based on four land cover maps generated by the Mexican Mangrove Monitoring System (SMMM) of the National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO) for the years 1970/81, 2005, 2010, and 2015. Our results showed overall dominance of erosion over accretion processes, beaches being the most affected coastal land cover. Emphasis was placed on identification and description of coastline sites … Show more

“…On the other hand, it provides a basis for land management and predicting change trends. Its application fields and research scopes are also very wide, including areas such as land cover change detection [1], forest cover detection [2], wetland change detection [3], urban area expansion [4], disaster assessment [5], and coastline changes [6].…”

“…Shorelines vary constantly, under the influence of two driving forces, namely natural processes and anthropogenic activities [3,4]. Shorelines change due to natural processes, include river deposition, sediment accretion, sea-level rise, waves, tides, wind erosion, etc., and often a priori knowledge of these processes is crucial for planning anthropogenic changes to the shorelines, and for understanding both short-and long-term human impacts on the coastal environment and ecosystems [5,6].…”

“…Coastal modeling is represented by digital terrain models (DTMs) of high spatial resolution. Geomorphological state can be defined as a multitemporal surface [9,10]. Depending on the beach area to be mapped (dry zone, intertidal zone, or submerged zone), various techniques and methodologies can be used [11,12].…”
