Beach Profile Studies

Beach Profile Studies

An important aspect of coastal morphology is the beach profile,

and beach profile studies are crucial as they convey the susceptibility of the coast to storms, define the extent of the usable coast for habitation and recreation. Beach profile studies also aid in clearly demarking legal boundaries, distinguishing both private and public land ownership. We specialise in reports on coastal erosion.

Frequently asked Questions

  • What is Beach Profile Studies?

    They are a type of coastal geomorphology research that entails measuring and analysing the shape and morphology of a beach over a given period of time. It typically involves collecting data such as the topography of the beach, the shape and elevation of the shoreline, dunes, and other features.

  • Use of Beach Profile studies

    By analysing the data collected, we can create detailed maps that illustrates the profile of the beach. It also enables us to calculate the volume of the overall beach and allows us to be cognizant of the trends and patterns of beach evolution. Development of predictive models for coastal change and models for coastal management is also possible by Beach Profile Studies.
