Description The National Institute of Oceanography is carrying out a comprehensive geological and geophysical survey of the continental margin of India. As a part of this project, a geomorphologic study of the coastal area was carried to understand the Quaternary history of the coastal areas and its relationship with the history and sedimentation on the shelf. Generally greater details of the coastal configuration and nearshore features are discernible on the aerial photographs than can be observed in a comparable short time by painstaking field studies. This study is based essentially on visual interpretation of aerial photographs and satellite images in a veriety of forms and formats supplemented by ground truth collection.
