 note = {The response of shorelines and coastal wetlands to sea level rise is a major challenge to natural resource managers, planners, coastal property owners, and scientists. The value of the coastal zone for fisheries, recreation, coastal ecosystem integrity, water quality, storm damage protection, and other benefits is extremely high. However, some coastal areas are highly vulnerable to sea level rise. In this proposal, we will investigate current and short-term responses of shorelines and coastal wetland ecosystems responding to the rise of sea level. In particular, we will study the migration and variability of the migration patterns of beach and dune systems and coastal wetlands, and the extent of inundation and the water level variation in the wetlands. To accomplish our objectives, we propose to use and analyze multi-source data. The analyses of multi-source data include investigation of the migration of shorelines, mapping the extent of the inundation and water level variation in coastal wetlands, verification by ground-truthing and surveys, fusion for the multi-source data, detection of changes automatically, and establishment of coastal shoreline and wetland databases for North Carolina. The research will, ・ further our understanding of the response of shorelines and coastal wetlands to sea level rise,, ・ further our understanding of shoreline and dune migration and of the extent and rates of change of the wetland ecosystems in the coastal region, and, ・provide insight and valuable information for coastal resource management, including monitoring and assessment of shorelines, coastal ecosystems, wetland conservation, water resources management, and natural hazards., 形態: カラー図版あり, 形態: DVD-ROM1枚, Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, Note: One DVD-ROM, 資料番号: AA0065135146, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-11-007E},
