Satellite Images and Grains Size Analysis for Shoreline Changes: A Case Study at Southern Kelantan and Northern Terengganu, Malaysia
Pasir Puteh and Besut are two separate districts that lie between the southern border of Kelantan and northern Terengganu. The Kemasin-Semerak Project completed in 1996 to mitigate flooding by relocating the river of Sungai Semerak 3 kilometers northward. This project was deemed to be successful. Ho...

| Summary: |
Pasir Puteh and Besut are two separate districts that lie between the southern border of Kelantan and northern Terengganu. The Kemasin-Semerak Project completed in 1996 to mitigate flooding by relocating the river of Sungai Semerak 3 kilometers northward. This project was deemed to be successful. However, the coastal dynamic of this coastline was affected. This study will include the impact on the coastal environment of this project through sedimentological analysis and remote sensing. The satellite images recorded at different time (2006 to 2012) of this area were used to outline the change shoreline. The coastal processes are further investigated with grains size analysis. |
