Study of changes and prediction ofCoastline position in North Oman Sea (Jaskarea) by using Landsat Satellite Images

The investigation of coastline behavior will help to coastal management, design and construction of onshore facilities and determine the safe margin. Sedimentation and erosion will be caused high costs in a region or coastal areas such as the port. Because shoreline changes caused by these phenomena, is one of the most important concerns. Unaware of the position of the coastline, puts a lot of damage to facilities and coastal structures. In this study, using Landsat data, changes in shoreline position has been studied in jask port over a period of 21 years. For image processing, radiometric and geometric errors on images has been examined by ENVI software.Finally shoreline position change is predicted by using combine approach for five years. In the southern part of the harbor, the sea is preceded. In the northwest and southwest of the breakwater situation, which is receding due to the wrong choice of breakwater construction site because of low water depth has steep price for dredge. The coastline length and area from 1989 until 2010 year increase respectively 691/84 meter and 508875/79 meter to power of 2 and until 2018 year toward 2010 year will increase respectively 521/45 meter and 285956/60 meter to power of 2.
