A STUDY ON SEDIMENTARY ENVINONMENTS BY REMOTELY SENSED DATA IN THE SOUTHERN TIDAL OF KANGHWA ISLAND, KOREA

The southern tidal flat of Kanghwa Island with an area of approximately 90 km² is one of the biggest flats on the western coast of Korea. Remote sensing has been identified as potential tool to provide synoptic information of the intertidal environments. To estimate quantitatively the morphological...
