The southern tidal flat of Kanghwa Island with an area of approximately 90 km² is one of the biggest flats on the western coast of Korea. Remote sensing has been identified as potential tool to provide synoptic information of the intertidal environments. To estimate quantitatively the morphological changes in a tidal flat, it is necessary to measure both the amount of sedimentation or erosion and the sediment facies involved. Thus, the objectives of this study are : (i) to generate an intertidal digital elevation model (DEM) using the waterline method around 1989; (ii) to quantitatively estimate the morphological changes from the generated DEM for the years 1989 and the extracted waterlines for the year 2002; (iii) to discriminate the surface sedimentary... |
