Extraction and geospatial analysis of the Hersek Lagoon shoreline with Sentinel-2 satellite data

Abstract

In this study, the coastal changes in Hersek Lagoon, have occurred in the 5 years (2015 to 2020) were examined. With the Modified Normalised Difference Water Index (MNDWI), the water areas in the lagoon were determined by object-based classification. When the changes are examined on a regional basis, it is seen that there are erosion and accretion areas were observed. Pearson's r value was examined between End Point Rate (EPR) and Linear Regression Rate (LRR) and a high correlation such as r = 0.921 was obtained. The maximum coastal change was observed as 18.74 m/year with EPR and 18.62 m/year with LRR.
