Tutorials - Kevin Lacaille, Mansi Shah: Eroding Coastlines: A Geospatial & Computer Vision Analysis

Kevin Lacaille
Python

Discover how to analyze coastal erosion using satellite imagery and Python with Kevin Lacaille and Mansi Shah's tutorial, covering Bangladesh's eroded coastlines and environmental impacts.

Key takeaways
  • The speakers discussed the analysis of coastal erosion using satellite imagery and Python.
  • The data used is from Planet, a satellite image provider, and covers the coast of Bangladesh.
  • The speakers showed how to use Python and satellite imagery to identify areas of coastal erosion and calculate the velocity of land loss over time.
  • The velocity of land loss was found to be increasing, but slowing down in recent years.
  • The speakers also discussed the importance of coastal erosion and its environmental impacts, such as loss of habitat quality and degradation of coral reefs.
  • The tutorial concluded with a demonstration of how to visualize the land loss over time and calculate the acceleration of land loss.
