Yellow River Estuary Coastline Change Analysis before and after the Water and Sediment Regulation in 12 Years

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the Landsat TM images of the Yellow River Delta from 2002 to 2013, the coastlines before and after water and sediment regulation in each year were extracted by the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) with RS and GIS software. The dynamic changes of coastlines were analyzed in combination with the conditions of water and sediment regulation. The results show that the coastlines were generally pushed ahead though it changed ahead and back alternately in the past decade. The coastline near the estuary changed more obviously than other area. There is a positive linear relationship between the rate of the coastline pushing ahead and the ratio of the water and sediment quantity discharged into the sea in this region.
