Assessing Coastal Degradation Through Spatiotemporal Earth Observation Data Cubes Analytics and Multidimensional Visualization by Ioannis Kavouras, Ioannis Rallis, Nikolaos Bakalos, Anastasios Doulamis

“…Compared to the already existing approaches, the Ocean-DC framework harmonizes several types of data and generates ready-to-use data cubes products, which can be merged together to produce high-dimensionality visualization products. To prove the efficiency of the Ocean-DC framework, a case study at Crete Island, emphasizing the Port of Heraklion, demonstrates the practical utility by revealing degradation trends via time-series analysis of several related remote sensing indices calculated using the Ocean-DC framework. …”
