Planetary-scale classification of natural and human-induced sandy shoreline evolution: A semi-automated method that employs Machine Learning and Satellite Derived Shorelines over the past decades

Today's coastal zones are densely inhabited as the majority of the world's population lives in these attractive areas. The shorelines in coastal zones are shaped by complex spatial and temporal variable interactions between natural forcings like changes in mean sea-level, tides, wave and wind conditions, and storm surges. Besides, natural...
