“…In research on coastal changes and morphological changes of dunes conducted by Friedman (2007), multitemporal air images and DTM from two annual data sets were utilized. Investigation of changes in the range of deflation and accumulation, and analyses of horizontal dislocation of the biggest active dune field on the US east coast (North Carolina) (Mitasova et al 2005) made use of multitemporal DEM from the period of 1974-2004. The research area extends at the length of 32 kilometres along the south coast of the Baltic Sea. The characteristic element of that landscape is the Mierzeja Łebska Sandbar that isolates coastal lakes from the sea.…”

ABSTRACT:Digital photogrammetry and remote sensing solutions applied under the project and combined with the geographical information system made it possible to utilize data originating from various sources and dating back to different periods. Research works made use of archival and up-to-date aerial images, satellite images, orthophotomaps. Multitemporal data served for mapping and monitoring intermediate conditions of the Baltic Sea shore zone without a need for a direct interference in the environment. The main objective of research was to determine the dynamics and volume of sea shore changes along the selected part of coast in the period of 1951-2004, and to assess the tendencies of shore development in that area. For each of the six annual data sets, the following were determined: front dune base line, water line and the beach width. The location of the dune base line, which reflects the course of the shoreline in a given year was reconstructed based on stereoscopic study of images from each annual set. Unidirectional changes in the period of 1951-2004 occurred only within 10% of the examined shore section length. The examined shore is marked by a high and considerable dynamics of changes. Almost half of the shore, in particular the middle coast shows big changes, in excess of 2 m/year. The limits of shoreline changes ranged from 120 to -90 m, and their velocity from 0 to 11 m/year, save that the middle and west parts of the examined coast section were subjected to definitely more intense shore transformations. Research based on the analysis of multitemporal aerial images made it possible to reconstruct the intermediate conditions of the Baltic Sea shoreline and determine the volume and rate of changes in the location of dune base line in the examined period of 53 years, and to find out tendencies of shore development and dynamics.

“…Beginning with images from the early 1970s, remote sensing (RS) has revealed a rich diversity of dune field patterns on Earth, Mars, Venus, and Titan. The synoptic perspective provided by remote sensing imagery has, however, only recently stimulated a shift away from the singledune studies popularized in the 1980s and 1990s (Livingstone et al, 2007) towards dune field-scale studies that incorporate spatial analysis (SA) of boundary conditions, dune activity, dune patterns and hierarchies, and dune-dune relations (e.g., Tsoar and Blumberg, 2002;Hugenholtz and Wolfe, 2005a;Kocurek and Ewing, 2005;Mitasova et al, 2005;Ewing et al, 2006;Bishop, 2007;Wilkins and Ford, 2007;Ewing and Kocurek, 2010a,b;Hugenholtz and Barchyn, 2010;Kocurek et al, 2010).…”

“…Currently, large sets of data are analysed by computer programs and related techniques. Processed data are stored in the GIS database and are used for coastal change prediction (Mitasova et al 2005). These methods are more costly because of the special software used, which is not inexpensive.…”

The aim of this paper is to compare the usefulness of equipment employed for foredune ground surveys in different environmental conditions based on literature and field experience from the Polish coast. This article contains a description of recently used methods of coastal dunes monitoring for management and scientific purposes. It presents issues of coastal dunes mapping that are a part of long-term research conducted along the Polish coast since 1997. The employed methods and techniques are briefly described and evaluated. Subsequently, a description and assessment of these field surveys is provided. The description of techniques is focused on the aim of the research and on the types of morphological coastal forms and vegetation cover. Those full descriptions may allow the choice of a proper method for field investigation suited to the researcher's need. The precision of measurement techniques and collected data is presented. Those data fulfill the need for geomorphologic investigation in coastal dune areas. The described experiences are based on 20 years of investigation of coastal dunes on the Polish Baltic coast, with additional data originating from other field investigations of many global coastal areas.
