Due to the drop in the level of the Caspian Sea evaluation of the geomorphologic properties of the coastal region based on the processing of satellite images

Abstract

The fall in the level of the Caspian Sea in recent years has a serious impact on the
infrastructure of the coastal zone. In this work, based on the processing of images taken from
the Sentinel 2 satellite, the influence of the level drop on the morphometric characteristics of
the coastal zone from the cape Bandovan to Astarachay river of the Azerbaijan water area of
the Caspian Sea is estimated. The images were processed using the Tasseled Cap and DSASDigital
Shoreline Analysis System software. The results are presented in the form of maps and
tables, graphically showing the changes occurring in the coastal zone as a result of falling sea
level.
