This paper presents the first steps in the implementation of a morphological numerical model to be applied in the Bevano River region, a shallow water area in the Adriatic Sea, with the aim of helping the identification and assessment of erosional patterns and bottom morphological modifications induced by severe marine storms. The numerical modeling, performed using a fully 3D coupled wave-current-sediment version of the ROMS model, has been complemented with in situ data analysis and observations: a first qualitative validation of the results was given by the analysis of images acquired via an ARGUS video station.Hydrodynamic modeling highlighted how shear bottom stresses and bottom currents fields were heavily influenced by severe storm situations, and had large effects on the morphology of shallow regions. The correlation between the wave-current induced bottom stresses and the resulting topography was investigated. Nearshore hydrodynamics modeling results demonstrated the dominant role played by alongshore sediment * Corresponding author: sandro.carniel@ismar.cnr.it transport, with the magnitude of both cross-and along-shore wave-induced currents strongly depending on wave height and direction.We found a good qualitative conformity between the results of the numerical models applied during a "Bora" storm and the corresponding video observations; both techniques indicated the migration of the existing sandbar within the range of about 40 m seaward.Results show how integrated numerical open source tools, often used in oceanography, are becoming suitable for both preliminary investigations and for planning the effective littoral management, and how their calibration can be supported by the use of new low cost techniques, such as video measurements.

“…The CoastView project demonstrates the use of fixed video remote sensing systems to partially ameliorate some of the problems associated with in-situ measurements of waves, currents, and morphological change. Davidson et al [5] refers to some of the research carried out investigating algorithms for the quantitative extraction of geophysical signals from image data including morphology [7], flows [8] and wave parameters [9] and refers to the various scientific literature that has tested and reviewed the reliability, accuracy and versatility of coastal video systems. Alexander and Holman [3] used time exposure images from the Argus Network in the quantification of nearshore morphology and Chickadel and Holman [10] investigated the use of video techniques for measuring longshore currents.…”

Abstract-This work is investigating the use of a multi-modal sensor network where visual sensors such as cameras and satellite imagers, along with context information can be used to complement and enhance the usefulness of a traditional in-situ sensor network in measuring and tracking some feature of a river or coastal location. This paper focuses on our work in relation to the use of an off the shelf camera as part of a multi-modal sensor network for monitoring a river environment. It outlines our results in relation to the estimation of water level using a visual sensor. It also outlines the benefits of a multi-modal sensor network for marine environmental monitoring and how this can lead to a smarter, more efficient sensing network.

“…One element which facilitates the compression of work with indicators is the fact that they can be shown in graphic form using maps and even videos (e.g. [29]), providing significant support for applications such as the identification and prioritization of areas for ecological restoration, urban development, landscape planning, and educational tasks to help the population to understand human impacts on the geographical space [26].…”

Coastal zones are very dynamic and fragile environments, constituting a landscape ever more heterogeneous, fragmented and with increasing levels of complexity due to the changing relationship between man and nature. Integrated coastal zone management therefore requires detailed knowledge of the system and its components, based-to a large extent-on technical and scientific information. However, the information generated must be in line with the political requirements necessary for decision-making and planning. Thus the use of indicators to give a simplified view of the many components of the territory, and at the same time to provide important information about patterns or trends, becomes a tool of the utmost importance. These indicators can be understood as measurable characteristics of the environment, which facilitate comprehension of the processes occurring at different scales and serve as a reference to inform the population and support decision-making. The aim of the present note is to demonstrate briefly the need to develop geographical-environmental and natural risk indicators to facilitate comprehension of the dynamic of spatial and temporal landscape patterns, particularly in coastal environments. This approach offers an historical summary of the natural, socio-economic and political processes which currently make up the territory, and which without doubt will continue to influence it in the future. At the same time, it is proposed that information should be integrated on the basis of this framework with a view to generating spatial decision support systems in a context of planning and integrated management of the coastal zones of Chile.
