Australian Coastal Geomorphic Models for Environmental Management

Conceptual geomorphic models derived from aerial photographs and satellite images for clastic coastal depositional environments in Australia. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-04-16. It is intended to assist environmental managers in assessing issues like sediment trapping efficiency and habitat change.

Use Cases

• Assess sediment trapping efficiency for different coastal environments based on geomorphic models.
• Model water circulation and turbidity patterns using detected coastal features.
• Monitor habitat change due to sedimentation inferred from aerial and satellite imagery.

Strengths

• Derived from aerial photographs and satellite images, providing a visual basis for models.
• Hosted by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.
