Title : Discovery OF Waterfront GEOMORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES FOR Powerful COASTAL The executives USING REMOTE SENSING and GIS

Abstract :

The present study deals with the Geomorphological Changes Detection study in Pulicat Lagoon. The study involves identifying the geomorphologic changes occurred due to the natural disasters and manmade activities using 2008, 2010, 2013 satellite Images by adopting Remote Sensing Technologies and GIS tools. The study area is located in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh, India located between longitude 80° 3¢3² to 80° 18¢6² and 13 °28¢ 32² to 13° 57¢6² latitude. The study area is covered under the Survey of India (SOI) toposheet no 66C/1,2,3,5,6 and 7 with scale 1:50000 and Multi-Spectral imageries from IRS-P6, LISS III, IV data of 2008, 2010 and 2013 Geocoded Satellite data are acquired as primary and secondary data for analysis. Visual Interpretation techniques are used to identify the Geomorphology classes from 2008, 2010 satellite imageries, ground truthing and post interpretation of the satellite image for preparation of 2013 Geomorphology map in this different classes like Creek, Flood Plain, Coastal Plain Moderate, Buried Pedi plain etc. are identified.  These spatial data maps generate statistical values of geomorphological classes, from this data analysis was carried out to find out the changes in the Geomorphology classes of 2008 to 2010 and 2010 to 2013. These type of model studies are very useful to identify the coastal geomorphological changes, its impact on coastal environment and in preparing the action plans to protect the coastal environmental.
