| description | The Coastal Dynamics Analyzer (CDA) v.2.0 is an enhanced version of the existing QGIS plugin, CDA v.1.0, which was originally developed for transect-based analysis (TBA) in coastal erosion assessment. This new release introduces the Area-Based Analysis (ABA), a new methodology useful for analyzing irregular or dynamic shorelines. By integrating ABA, CDA v.2.0 enables users to evaluate broader coastal dynamics and changes, providing a more comprehensive toolkit for researchers and professionals engaged in coastal monitoring and management. The plugin maintains its user-friendly interface and compatibility with QGIS, ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows. |
