GIS: Visualising and Analysing coastal erosion
I can visualise and analyse coastal erosion using GIS platforms.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Aerial imagery can be used to visualise coastal erosion using GIS.
- Old and new maps can visualise coastal erosion using GIS.
- Analysing maps and aerial imagery using GIS can help us explain patterns of coastal erosion.
Keywords
Geographic information system - a geographical information system (GIS) is a computer mapping system that captures, and displays geographic data to help understand spatial patterns
Visualise - to form a mental or physical image of something, making it easier to understand
Analyse - to break things down and identify patterns and relationships
Common misconception
Coastal erosion is likely to be the same in different places along a stretch of coastline.
Coastal erosion varies between different places. It is influenced by human factors, such as whether coastal defences have been installed, and physical factors, such as the rock type.
Equipment
Computers or tablets with internet connection.
