WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?
From photogametric models realized with drones in years 2014 and 2016 was calculating the volumetric changes in a boulder beach about 20,000 m2. For the study was used a Limit of Detection of 3.71 cm and a pixel size of 1.8 cm.
“The seaward part of the beach suffers a higher erosion level.”
FOR KNOW MORE
This work is a first approximation to analyses volumetric changes in a rocky coast globally, employing drone images. This research demonstrated that erosion only domain in 19% of study area, while accretion upper 1 500 m3 during the analysis period.
The beach behavior is in relation with a perturbation about an equilibrium beach gradient. This is related to storm severity during each Galicia winter period.
CURIOSITIES
*
During the winter sea drag great quantities of material to the beach, include seaweed.
*
In central part of the beach is where locate the major part of boulders mobilized.
