Keywords: Aerial Photographs, Photogrammetry, Geological Applications 



Textbook covers the fundamentals and applications of photogeology or the use of photos in 

 geology. Part I covers basic material on the characteristics of photos, stero viewing 

 principles, and photo measuring instruments. Part II covers principles of photo interpre- 

 tation, particularly in geological applications. Part III gives a series of exercises that 

 illustrates geological applications of photos. These exercises are excellent stereo photos (only 

 one coastal area) with explanatory text and supplemental figures. Although not oriented 

 toward coastal engineering applications, this book contains background information that 

 may be useful for coastal studies in which geology is important. An extensive bibliography 

 on photogeology is included.

 sance," /Imen'can Scientist, Vol. 49, No. 1, Mar. 1961. pp. 9-36.

Article reviews applications of photos (and other remote sensors) which use film sensitive to 

 various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Review discusses the use of panchromatic 

 versus black and white infrared film for delineating shore features. Film and filter 

 combinations that give the best results in studying underwater details are also discussed. 

 Article contains a stereo view that shows bottom detail clearly through 30 feet of water.

Report presents changes caused by Hurricane Donna along the lower west coast of Florida 

 using before-and-after photos. Photos taken in 1953, 1957, and 1958 before the hurricane 

 in September, 1960, were compared with those taken in October and November of 1960. 

 The assumption that the more obvious differences between the coastline on the prestorm 

 and the 1960 photos were due primarily to storm effects was used to detect coastal changes 

 and to compute sand movement by the storm. An average depth of 5 feet for eroded and 

 accreted areas was also assumed to convert areal changes to volume changes. The author 

 concluded that the storm only accelerated already active processes, and that there was about 

 100 years of sand movement during the storm period.
