    © Author(s) 2014. CC Attribution 4.0 License. ISSN 2047-0371 3.2.2. Shoreline Geometry: DSAS as a Tool for Historical Trend Analysis Temitope D. T. Oyedotun1,2 1 Coastal and Estuarine Research Unit, Department of Geography, University College London ([email protected]) 2Department of Geography and Planning Sciences, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State of Nigeria ([email protected]) ABSTRACT: Shoreline geometry remains one of the key parameters in the detection of coastal erosion and deposition and the study of coastal morphodynamics. The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) as a software extension within the Environmental System Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS© has been used by many researchers in measuring, quantifying, calculating and monitoring shoreline rate-of-change statistics from multiple historic shoreline positions and sources. The main application of DSAS is in utilisation of polyline layers as representation of a specific shoreline feature (e.g. mean high water mark, cliff top) at a particular point in time. A range of statistical change measures are derived within DSAS, based on the comparison of shoreline positions through time. These include Net Shoreline Movement (NSM), Shoreline Change Envelope (SCE), End Point Rate (EPR), Linear Regression Rate (LRR) and Weighted Linear Regression Rate (WLR). Despite the inability of this tool to determine the forcing of morphodynamics, it has been shown to be effective in facilitating an in-depth analysis of temporal and historical movement of shoreline positions and cliff geometry. KEYWORDS: GIS, Historical Trend Analysis, DSAS, Shoreline Changes, transects. Introduction climates including marine, astronomical or other meteorological factors (Lisitzin, 1974; Coastal shorelines, the interface between Cowell and Thom, 1994; Pugh, 1996, 2004; land and sea, change variably in response to Paskoff and Clus-Auby, 2007; Pardo-Pascual one or more factors, which may be et al., 2012; Thébaudeau et al., 2013).

  • 9.2 Trace- 100- the Day Our World Changed
    Trace Trace: 100: The Day our World Changed By Elizabeth Bennett Abstract On August 3rd 2014, I attended a performance of WildWorks’ 100: The Day our World Changed, a continuous theatrical event from dawn till dusk, travelling from the harbour of Cornish town Mevagissey to the nearby Lost Gardens of Heligan. The Treymayne family have owned the Heligan Estate for over 400 years, providing employment in various forms to the surrounding three parishes of Mevagissey, St Ewe and Gorran. Due to storm damage and decades of inattention, the gardens were discovered in a derelict state in 1990, when John Nelson and Tim Smit led a groundbreaking restoration project. The Lost Gardens of Heligan now welcomes 200,000 visitors a year. Nelson and Smit made a vital discovery within days of their initial explorations – the old gardeners’ toilet (Thunderbox Room) – where the pencilled names of past staff on the wall caught their imagination and respect. In August 1914, twenty- three outdoor staff were recorded in the labour books; by 1917 there were just eight. This performance grew from a desire by the Heligan Estate to: “honour and commemorate not just the Lost Gardeners from the Heligan Estate but all the people and the families locally whose world was changed in August 1914” (WildWorks, Programme). Using field notes, snatched impressions, visceral responses from embodied memory, and subsequent access to the performance script to clarify my scribbled sentences, this paper aims to trace what has remained with me. This piece of creative remembering is influenced by, and inflected with, my thesis research into landscape processes of biography, affect, 95 Platform, Vol.
