A GIS-based mapping of historical coastal cliff recession
Abstract This paper presents the results of a study on historical cliffs recessions using GIS. In this study, a GIS methodological approach was developed to model and analyse the development and spatial distribution of cliff recession on the coast at Dakar. Valuable information about the coastal erosion and the main causes of the instabilities was obtained. Finally, this research also suggests that important information regarding instability processes can be gathered from existing information sources, such as technical maps, aerial photographs, and written documents, thereby limiting the need for costly and time-consuming field and/or laboratory investigations.
