Shoreline Changes between Sabine Pass and Bolivar Roads, An Analysis of Historical Changes of the Texas Gulf Shoreline

Coastal morphodynamics and Chenier-Plain evolution in southwestern Louisiana, USA: A geomorphic model

“…The two northerly complexes, separated by 2 km of marsh, each contain 20 to 25 ridges with elevations of ∼1.5 m. Ridges to the south are topographically lower (up to 0.9 m) and likely represent rapid sediment deposition as beach ridges. The modern shoreline west of Sabine Pass, contrary to the overall trend of regression, has retreated N2 m/year over the past 100 years, except for a short, 2-km accretionary stretch immediately west of the western jetty at Texas Point (see Morton, 1975;Westphal et al, 1996).…”

Dynamics of Coastal Systems Using GIS Analysis and Geomaterials Evaluation for Groins

“…We also estimated the areas of land loss or gain for each zone (Figure 7a). This estimation was based on polygon vectorization for each section, with subsequent determination of the area of the polygons (Moran, 2003).…”

“…Historical shoreline change rates for the area from Sabine Pass to Galveston Entrance Channel from King (2007) are shown in Figure 13. As stated by King, …the M 1882King, …the M 1974King, …the M , P&M 1974King, …the M -1982King, …the M , and M 1974King, …the M -1996 bar graph labels refer to average annual shoreline change rates over the listed intervals using data from Morton (1975), Paine and Morton (1989), and Morton (1997), respectively." King (2007) also states "the 1974 and 1982 photographs were digitally scanned and ortho-rectified typically using 30-60 ground control points per image.…”
