Analysis of Sea Bed Evolution of Min Estuary

摘要

Min Estuary is located in the southeast part of China. As there are areseveral coastal engineering projects would be soon carried out in thisarea, it is urgent to understand the characteristics of the sea bedevolution. The sea bed evolution of Min Estuary is studied using thefield data in 2001, 2003 and 2009. Based on the digital elevation model(DEM), we compared the contour maps and checked the morphologychange at typical sections of Min Estuary. It is shown that there is littleerosion and sedimentation in Min Estuary.
