Using gis tools in the identification and assessment of changes in coastal gullies channels (Murcia, Spain)
Abstract
He has checked the validity of some GIS tools in the identification and characterization of changes in some of these channels by comparing their morphology on two different dates, 1956 and 2002. The results reflect significant changes in the morphology of the drainage networks in the study area, such as occupation by agricultural plantations, diversion of rivers, roads for agricultural use and, above all, a significant decrease in its extension.Downloads
