Among the various causes of coastal erosion, the installation of offshore breakwaters is considered the main cause that influences the most serious changes in shorelines. However, without a proper means for predicting such terrain changes, countries and regions continue to suffer from the aftermath of development projects on coastal land. It has been confirmed that the parabolic bay shape equation (PBSE) can accurately predict shoreline changes under the wave climate diffracted as a result of such development projects. This study developed a shoreline change model that has enhanced the previous shoreline change models by applying PBSE to shoreline changes into bay-shaped features. As an analytical comparison with the second term of the GENESIS model, which is an existing and well-known shoreline change model, a similar beach erosion width was obtained for a small beach slope. However, as the beach slope became larger, the result became smaller than that of the GENESIS model. The validity of the model was verified by applying it to satellite images that demonstrated the occurrence of shoreline changes caused by breakwaters for seaports on the eastern coast of Korea; Wonpyeong beach, Yeongrang beach, and Wolcheon beach. As a result, each studied site converged on the static equilibrium planform within several years. Simultaneously, the model enabled the coastal management of the arrangement of seaports to evaluate how the construction of structures causes serious shoreline changes by creating changes to wavefields.

Locating on the domestic and international navigation routes (Long Tau-Tac Dinh Cau route, Soai Rap route) the Can Gio area is impacted by waterway traffic activities. The seasonal movement of sand bars on the Can Gio is significantly impacted by hydrodynamic of the river mouth. With the important roles of the area, the authors consider the coastal morphology processes under the hydrodynamic. In this paper, the authors has inherited previous studies combined the satellite image analysis to detect the shoreline changes from 1973 to 2013. Besides, numerical modeling was also applied to predict the shoreline changes under impacts of the sea level rise. Results show that, the Can Gio shoreline prolonging from Can Thanh to Dong Hoa is seriously eroded, with average of 7-10 m/year, maximum to 15 m/year. It is found that, beach erosion at Can Gio is a kind of surface erosion impacted by human trigger (shrimp ponds, beach encroachment…). In addition, natural factors (wave, long-shore current, littoral materials) also contribute to increase the erosion rate. Predicted results with sea level rise scenarios show that, the Dong Hoa and Can Thanh will be seriously eroded while the 30-4 beach will be annually deposited.

Coastal erosion caused by sea level rise is a serious problem for people all over the world. Global sea level will rise from 0.18 to 0.59 m (IPCC, 2007). Along the coasts in Japan, sea level will rise from 0.09 to 0.27 m by the end of this century. The future estimation considers only thermal expansion due to rising sea temperature caused by global warming. However, considering the contribution of scale-down of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet, there is potential of the increase in the rate of sea level rise. There are few studies which evaluate impacts of the future beach erosion on society by comparing with the past shoreline change resulting from natural forces and human activities. This study evaluates the long-term shoreline changes due to natural forces and human activities by using old maps. Shoreline changes were influenced by natural forces from 1900 to 1950 and were influenced by human activities from 1950 to 1990. Shoreline changes showed that the changes tended to be stable after 1990, and coastal erosion due to climate change would likely become obvious in the future.

Salient and tombolo are common features found in the lee of detached breakwaters. The empirical parabolic bay shape equation (PBSE) can be applied when their planform is fully developed, whereas numerical model is required to simulate the dynamic shoreline evolution prior to the planform reaching static equilibrium. This paper reports the excellent performance of PBSE through the comparison with labaratory results and the development of a numerical model for dynamic shoreline change that utilizes the concept of PBSE and equilibrium beach profile. Formulation proposed for sediment transport rate is theoretically compared with that in GENESIS. The governing equation for the combined shoreline response model is based on the one-line beach model, which includes shoreline changes owing to longshore and cross-shore sediment transport. Finally, numerical results reveal, by comparing with an experimental case in the laboratory, that the model is adequate to successively simulating the dynamic evolutions of the shoreline behind a detached breakwater.

Abstract The beach profile survey in the intertidal zone is crucial for a temporal variability study of shoreline and beach profile change for coastal management. The combination of numerical modelling and field data has proven to be successful in identifying the primary hydrodynamic and sediment transport processes such as littoral and cross-shore drift. Those parameters are relevant to the sandbar migration process and shoreline changes. The purpose of the present study is to analyse the littoral drift that caused temporal variability shoreline change in mesotidal beach for coastal retreat mitigation. Beach profile data of Kuta Beach was analyzed by 7 years of long-term field observation data both east monsoon and west monsoon situation. The shoreline definition used mean sea level (MSL)1.3 m and high water level (HWL) 2.6 m as reference. By using the MeEPASoL program as a graphical user interface program, shoreline changes converging to an equilibrium state can be simulated by taking into account the existing breakwater. Temporal shoreline position resulting from littoral drift and beach width change from its initial position is estimated for coastal erosion analysis. The result showed that dominantly, the littoral drift pattern moved from south to north. Furthermore, this study can be used in the process of identifying the primary hydrodynamic analysis in erosion disaster management as assessment of the beach erosion.

The research focuses on using Sentinel-2 that can be integrated with the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) as an effective tool for the determination of changes in the riverbanks and using linear regression to predict shoreline changes. The research applied the assessment of shoreline changes in the period of 2015- 2020 and forecast to 2025 in Laigiang river of the South Central Coast region of Vietnam. Based on the DSAS tool, parameters such as Shoreline Change Envelope (SCE), Net Shoreline Movement (NSM), End Point Rate (EPR) and Linear Regression Rate (LRR) were determined. The analysis results show that the accretion process in the Laigiang river in the period of 2015-2020 with the accretion area ranges from 81.47 ha. Meanwhile, the area of shoreline erosion only fluctuates around 54.42 ha. The rhythm of evolution is a determinant element for this transitional system.

Study of morphological variations and the effects of oceanographic processes such as erosion and accretion at different temporal scales are important to understand the nature of the coast and the cyclic changes occurring during different seasons. The Udupi-Dakshina Kannada coast along the west coast of India exhibits a wide range of changes depending on the interactions of tide and wave energy, sediment supply and more importantly human intervention. In view of this, the present work has been carried out to study the changes in shoreline changes along the Udupi-Dakshina Kannada coast over a period of 29 years from 1990 to 2019. Remote Sensing and GIS techniques have been used to demarcate shorelines and calculate the shoreline change rates. Overall accretion and erosion rates were found to be 1.28 m/year and 0.91 m/year respectively along the coast. Highest accretion and erosion rates of 12.57 m/year and 5.34 m/year was noticed along the Dakshina Kannada coast. The study also suggests that multi-dated satellite data along with statistical techniques can be effectively used for prediction of shoreline changes. Keywords: remote sensing, GIS, Dakshina Kannada coast, oceanography, shoreline.

The most important function of the coastal setback is to minimize damage due to coastal erosion, climate change response, and sea-level rise. There are many directions and methods of researching and assessing coastal changes and coastal erosion. This study presents the results of the shoreline changes in the area from Son Tra (Da Nang City) to Cua Dai (Hoi An City), Central Vietnam based on remote sensing data from 1965 to 2019. Three methods are used to include End Point Ratio (EPR), Linear Regression Rate (LRR), and Weighted Linear Regression (WLR). The results show that the EPR method is effective when calculating the rate of shoreline changes only at two different times. For more objective and reliable calculation, it is necessary to assess the shoreline changes over time. Meanwhile, the LRR method was shown to be superior because all shoreline data were taken into account during the construction of the regression line. However, when there is much shoreline data with different reliability, the WLR method proved more superior because of limited objective errors. The results show that from 1965 to 2019, the coast of the Son Tra - Cua Dai area had quite complicated fluctuations, of which the northern area (Son Tra) tended to accretion, the central area tends to be alternate between accretion and erosion, while the south area (Cua Dai) is strong to very strong erosion. The coast with sudden changes is the Cua Dai area with the shoreline change envelope (SCE) reaching 512m. The results also allow us to divide the coast of the Son Tra - Cua Dai area into 30 segments. They are clustered into 8 groups with different levels of erosion and accretion. This is an important basis for the setback zone establishment in the study area.

<p><em>The existence of the coast in the northern part of Karawang Regency is very worrying. Seawater<strong> </strong>that was far up to tens of meters from the side of the road, is now on the lip of the road, even some parts of the road are cut off due to abrasion of seawater. Some villages were affected by abrasion erosion. One of the effects of damage due to abrasion and sedimentation is the occurrence of shoreline changes. This change in coastline will affect people's lives and spatial planning for the development of the area. For this reason, this study aims to determine the extent and rate of shoreline changes that occurred on the coast of Karawang Regency in the periods of 1989, 1995, 2001, 2005, 2009, 2016, and 2018. The shoreline data was obtained from the extraction of Landsat 3 MSS, Landsat 5 TM, Landsat 7 ETM +, and Landsat 8 </em><em>OLI</em>-<em>TIRS after the NDWI process was previously carried out. While the rate of change is calculated at 6 sample point locations scattered along the northern coast of Karawang Regency. The results showed that the largest area damaged by abrasion occurred in Sedari Village covering an area of 166.802 hectares, and the area formed by the largest sedimentation occurred in Muara Cilamaya Village at 276,318 hectares. Meanwhile, the fastest rate of shoreline change due to abrasion occurred in Sukajaya Village at 10 meters </em>/<em>year, while the slowest in Sedari Village at 3.77 meters / year. The fastest sedimentation process in Muara Cimalaya Village is 4.5 meters / year, while the late one in Tanjung Pakis Village is 3.09 meters / year.</em><em></em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>Abra</em><em>sion, Accretion, Coastline Changes, Karawang</em><em></em></p>

Abstract Background Resistance to change is customary and is expected in any organization. However, most of the downsides of change can be avoided if the organization/individual prepares for the change by acknowledging guided strategies. In healthcare, change is the state of nature, which has also translated to medical education (ME). ME in the current era has undergone a shift from a traditional content-based curriculum to a competency-based curriculum. Recently, however, the broader social-accountability movement has accelerated this rate of transformation. One of the key challenges to educators harbingering this transformation to competency-based medical education (CBME) is to redesign the processes of teaching. Aim Here we define a framework designed using Mento’s model of change that will totally agree with introducing positive change in teaching in an institution undergoing transformation from a traditional content-based curriculum to a competency-based curriculum. Methodology Using Schein’s “unfreezing” as a guide term we critically reflected on the popular change-management models, to home in on Kotter’s model of change to transform organizations. However, Kotter’s change-model draws from Situational and Contingency Leadership Theories, which may not agree with academic organizations involved in ME. As such organizations adhere to Transactional and Transformational Leadership archetypes, where Leadership is constructively executed by “The Leader Team”, we decided to adopt Mento’s change-model for our study. Mento’s model not only draws from the precepts of Kotter’s model, but also incorporates axioms of Jick’s and GE’s change-models. Results Using Mento’s model a framework was blueprinted to implement active learning (AL) strategies in CBME. Here we have elaborated on the framework using the exemplar of flipped teaching. The development of this framework required the design and execution of a faculty development program, and a step by step guidance plan to chaperon, instruct and implement change in teaching to harbinger CBME. Further, we have also reflected on the change process using Gravin’s framework. Conclusion To our knowledge this is the first report of the use of Mento’s model of change in medical education. Also, the blueprinted framework is supported by acknowledged leadership theories and can be translated to implement any curricular change in CBME.
