Title:
Climate change in the context of historical trend analysis and forecasting the shoreline changes at the Nile Delta using RS data and GIS with DSAS tool.
Abstract:
Climate change is increasing at alarming rates and coastal areas are becoming increasingly threatened by climate change and sea level rise. The current study aims to do historical trend analysis of the Nile Delta shoreline and predict the likely change in the shoreline due to climate change. The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) with the ArcGIS environment are used for monitoring the shoreline changes.The satellite images with 30 m resolution were used from 1974 to 2022 and geomatically corrected using Supervised Classification to detect the shoreline changes in the Nile Delta. GIS was used for change detection, monitor changes in shoreline and forecasting future changes in shoreline for the next 10 and 20 years (2033-2043). The results showed that the shoreline of the Nile Delta has moved toward the land with different values in the period (1974-2022) and the predictions showed more increase in 2033 and 2043, especially at Rosetta and Damietta.
