Abstract
Morphological changes are one of the most prominent concerns of coastal phenomena. The continuous alterations in sea shoreline leads to littoral transport. Hence, it is essential to identify area and rate of erosion and deposition along the coastal surface due to wave action. This can be accomplished with persistent monitoring of the coastline using satellite surveillance in regular intervals. This research is conducted to evaluate short-term shoreline modification from 2016 to 2018 in the half-yearly periodic interval in the Gulf of Khambhat (GoK). The study is carried out using remote sensing datasets from USGS and conducting imagery analysis on ArcGIS and DSAS. The proposed study and map developed in the research will contribute to shoreline protection measures. This work will be beneficial for forecasting future marine trends and planning sustainable coastline management measures.
