AB  - The aim of this study is to bring out coastal geomorphological 
  landforms from Thondi to Muthupettai area using remote sensing, GIS and field 
  information. It is in the survey of India toposheets No. 58 0/1 and 58 0/2, 
  58 N/4 and 58 N/8, 58 N/7 in a scale of 1:50,000, 1:250,000. The study area 
  contains three types of coastal geomorphologic landforms; they are depositional, 
  erosional and other features. The depositional features like, beach, sand dune, 
  beach ridges, spit, lagoon and mudflats. The erosional features like sea cliffs 
  and other features like, salt pan, backwaters and mangroves, creeks and deltas. 
  Extensive fieldwork has been undertaken to confirm the presence of different 
  geomorphic landforms which are identified from earth observation system. From 
  the analysis, it has been found that the satellite data is very useful and effective 
  for getting the results of temporal changes. The present study exhibits the 
  potency of GIS in representing the spatial distribution of various coastal geomorphological 
  landforms. A GIS database was developed and updated in order to provide access 
  for future use and computer analysis. These coastal landforms are indicating 
  that the study area had the emerging types of the coastline.
