Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can use GIS aerial imagery and webmaps to visualise the impact of physical and human processes on coastal landscapes.

Show transcript
GIS uses historical imagery to visualise and analyse how the coastline changes over time. This is called temporal data. GIS uses historical maps to analyse how the coastline changes using georeferenced older maps. GIS apps which enable visualisation of temporal data include Esri Wayback and NLS Maps. GIS apps use historical imagery and historical maps to visualise and measure change such as the rate of coastal erosion.
