Abstract
Rosetta promontory in Egypt is liable to coastal problems such as severe erosion beside the shoreline and siltation problem at the outlet. This problem is due to many reasons including the lack of water and sediment resources as a side effect of constructing the High Aswan Dam (HAD) and other head structures along the Nile River. Remarkably, the situation is still unstable although protection works have been constructed to mitigate shoreline erosion. The main goal of this study is to analyse the coastal region at Rosetta promontory and to determine erosion and accretion rates besides accretion/erosion patterns through using the integration between remote sensing techniques and statistical analysis of shoreline using DSAS software. Moreover, it aims to determine the hotspot areas that need to be protected. Ultimately, a decision matrix will be developed to indicate the level of vulnerability along the shoreline; accordingly, the decision-makers will have a powerful tool to help them for making decisions regarding coastal zone management. This thesis contains five chapters arranged as follows: Chapter (1): INTRODUCTION Presents a general introduction, problem statement, objectives and scope of the study for which this thesis was prepared. Chapter (2): LITERATURE REVIEW It shows survey and summary of previous studies in this field. Chapter (3): MATERIALS AND METHODS Discussing the characteristics of the study area, classification with remote sensing. Chapter (4): RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS Includes the application of the Digital shoreline analysis system. Chapter (5): CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Summary of the thesis outcomes, conclusions, and recommendations for future research.
