Popis: Elongation of the sand spit in Loc An River Mouth located in the Southern Coast of Vietnam was studied using a series of satellite images to overcome the problem associated with lacking data in developing countries like Vietnam. Characteristic changes of the sand spit have been figured out based on the waterlines extracted from the re-rectified satellite images. In addition, longshore sediment transport rate (LSTR) along the up-drift sand spit was calculated based on the idea of the one-line model and this value shows good agreement with the numerical calculation performed in another study of this area.
