A GIS Based Tool for Extracting Shoreline Positions from Aerial Imagery (BeachTools) Revised

Abstract

This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) presents TM Beach Tools, an ArcView 9.1 Geographic Information System (GIS) extension designed to identify and quantitatively establish the position of shorelines and other coastal features from aerial imagery. This CHETN is a revision of the original Beach Tools extension produced in ArcView 3.2 (Hoeke et al. 2001).
