Large-Scale Classification of the East Anglian Coastline, UK

Schans, Hennie / Möller, Iris / Spencer, Tom

The East Anglian coastline (UK) is used as a case study to illustrate an innovative quantitative approach to large-scale beach classification. This encompasses a systematic application of a statistical analysis technique to beach volume change, representing the spatial variability of the inter-tidal beach. This technique is used to classify the East Anglia coastline into regions of similar inter-tidal profile behaviour. Classification results can be used to inform ongoing debates about the location and boundaries of coastal management units. The technique proposed in this paper is generic and can be applied elsewhere.
