River inlets, deltas, estuaries, and lagoons are coastal regions particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including sea level rise, increased storm intensity and frequency.
These factors can cause coastal erosion, flooding, and the loss of critical habitats. The study of morphodynamics has made strong progresses in the decades, also from the theoretical point of view. However, models need data to be tested and to be eventually employed in machine learning algorithms. From this point of view remote sensing is a powerful tool providing data and a way to monitor changes in these systems in time. Among the data that remote sensing can provide, there are channel width, large scale bedforms positions and eventually bathymetry.This research aims to explore the use of remote sensing for studying morphodynamics the seaward reach river systems and lagoons.
