Coastline, Wolfe Spit 1947 - 2000, Beaufort Sea, northern Canada

Purpose: The comparison of digital coastlines across various time intervals allows for an accurate representation of coastal change. A better understanding of coastal change and its relationship to the changing morphology of coastal and inland waterways will aid in future decision-making for development and management of one of the most rapidly changing coastlines in the world.

研究目的：对不同时间区间内的数字海岸线（digital coastlines）进行对比分析，可精准刻画海岸变迁过程。透彻理解海岸变迁及其与沿海及内陆河道地貌变化的内在关联，将有助于为全球变化速率最快的海岸带之一的开发与管理提供科学的决策支撑。
