Editing Coastal erosion (section)

==Tracking==

Storms can cause erosion hundreds of times faster than normal weather.  Before-and-after comparisons can be made using data gathered by manual surveying, [[laser altimeter]], or a GPS unit mounted on an ATV.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129777507|title=Tracking Coastal Erosion From Storms|website=NPR.org |publisher=NPR|access-date=3 May 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304194426/http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129777507|archive-date=4 March 2016}}</ref> [[Remote sensing]] data such as Landsat scenes can be used for large scale and multi year assessments of coastal erosion.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Kuenzer | first1 = C. | last2 = Ottinger | first2 = M. | last3 = Liu | first3 = G. | last4 = Sun | first4 = B. | last5 = Dech | first5 = S. | year = 2014 | title = Earth Observation-based Coastal Zone Monitoring of the Yellow River Delta: Dynamics in China's Second Largest Oil Producing Region over four Decades | url = | journal = Applied Geography | volume = 55 | issue = | pages = 72–107 | doi = 10.1016/j.apgeog.2014.08.015 | bibcode = 2014AppGe..55...92K }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Vos |first1=Kilian |last2=Harley |first2=Mitchell D. |last3=Turner |first3=Ian L. |last4=Splinter |first4=Kristen D. |date=February 2023 |title=Pacific shoreline erosion and accretion patterns controlled by El Niño/Southern Oscillation |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-022-01117-8 |journal=Nature Geoscience |language=en |volume=16 |issue=2 |pages=140–146 |doi=10.1038/s41561-022-01117-8 |bibcode=2023NatGe..16..140V |s2cid=256702265 |issn=1752-0908}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=DEA Coastlines {{!}} Digital Earth Australia {{!}} Geoscience Australia |url=https://www.dea.ga.gov.au/products/dea-coastlines |access-date=2023-08-11 |website=www.dea.ga.gov.au |language=en}}</ref> Moreover, [[Geostatistics|geostatistical]] models can be applied to quantify erosion effects and the natural temporal and spatial evolution of tracked coastal coastal profiles.
