Developments of innovative methodologies for Marine Relict Sand Deposits (DSMRs) identification and remotely-sensed shoreline extraction
2023
This Industrial PhD project is a part of the theme set out in point “Blu Growth” of the National Strategy of Intelligent Specialization (SNSI) approved by the European Commission, which defines among the objectives the sector that refers precisely to the marine extraction industry: activities of extraction of natural resources from the sea, that can be reported to the ATECO code “08.12.0, Extraction of gravel, sand; extraction of clays and kaolin". The proposal includes research actions aimed at the development of innovative systems and tools useful to identify and study the area where is higher the probability to detect the submerged relict sand deposits in some sector of the Mediterranean…
Shoreline Extraction and Change Detection using 1:5000 Scale Orthophoto Maps: A Case Study of Latvia-Riga
2015
Coastal management requires rapid, up-to-date, and
 correct information. Thus, the determination of coastal movements and its
 directions has primary importance for coastal managers. For monitoring the
 change of shorelines, remote sensing data, very high resolution aerial images
 and orthophoto maps are utilized for detections of change on shorelines. It is
 possible to monitor coastal changes by extracting the coastline from orthophoto
 maps. Along the Baltic Sea and Riga Gulf, Latvian coastline length is 496 km.
 It is rich of coastal resources and natural biodiversity.  Around 120 km of coastline are affected by
 significant coastal chang…
