Assessment of coastal Strandveld integrity using WorldView-2 imagery in False Bay, South Africa

Author: Lück-Vogel, Melanie ; Mbolambi, C Date: May 2018 The coastal zone as interface between land and sea faces much pressure from human activities. These pressures make it difficult for the coastal zones to fulfil their natural functions, so threatening the state of coastal environments and ... Read more
Assessment of coastal vegetation degradation in False bay, South Africa, using WV-2 imagery

Author: Lück-Vogel, Melanie ; Mbolambi, C Date: May 2017 Vegetation of the coast around the world fulfils an important role. It acts as a buffer against the impacts from the oceans such as waves and wind and protects the coastal hinterland from wind-blown sand and coastal erosion. However, due to ... Read more
Finite mixture models for sub-pixel coastal land cover classification

Author: Ritchie, Michaela C ; Lück-Vogel, Melanie ; Debba, Pravesh ; Goodall, V Date: May 2017 Medium spatial resolution sensors (10-30 m pixel size) have been used for land cover classification and monitoring for decades. However, these sensors do not have the required resolution to detect coastal specific land cover classes and ... Read more
The use of Landsat and aerial photography for the assessment of coastal erosion and erosion susceptibility in False Bay, South Africa

Author: Callaghan, K ; Engelbrecht, Jeanine ; Kemp, J Date: Jun 2015 Coastal erosion is a worldwide hazard, the consequences of which can only be mitigated via thorough and efficient monitoring of erosion. This study aimed to employ remote sensing techniques on aerial photographs and Landsat TM/ETM+ imagery ... Read more
Using LiDAR derivatives to estimate sediment grain size on beaches in False Bay

Author: Burns, James ; Lück-Vogel, Melanie Date: May 2017 Coastal environments form where the land, sea and atmosphere meet and interact in unique and dynamic ways. A state of dynamic equilibrium is ideally maintained by the natural ocean processes of wind, waves and tides. Human interference, leading ... Read more
Using LiDAR derivatives to estimate sediment grain size on beaches in False Bay

Author: Burns, James Date: Dec 2019 The coastal zone is a dynamic environment that is regulated and influenced by natural ocean processes and anthropogenic phenomena. Beaches are important elements within the coastal zone and are highly valued for the ecosystem services that ... Read more
