 Article describes use of photos to monitor growth of a tidal delta and a new inlet on 

 Hatteras Island, North Carohna, by an extratropical cyclone during March 1962. The tidal 

 delta was formed in PamUco Sound on the lagoon side of the barrier island and covered an 

 area of 0.1 1 square miles at age 5 days, 0.20 square miles at 2 months, and 0.3.5 square miles 

 at 10 months. Growth of the delta was monitored from photos taken by the USC&GS. It 

 was concluded that periodic photos are excellent for studying dynamic coastal features.

Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Mass., Apr. 1965. 

 Keywords: Satellite Photographs, Aerial Remote Sensors, Oceanographic Applications 

 Conference proceedings on the feasibihty of oceanographic explorations from aircraft and 

 manned obital spacecraft are presented. Proceedings contain about 75 articles on use of 

 remote sensors in oceanography. Authors of the articles are well-known authorities in 

 oceanography and related fields. Many applications discussed are related to coastal 

 engineering investigations, such as determination of currents, wave refraction patterns, state 

 of sea, and considerations of coastal geography, geology, and engineering applications by 

 remote sensors.

Vol. 55, No. 4, Oct. 1965, pp. 463477. 

 Keywords: Aerial Photographs, Coastal Changes, Coastal Mapping, Sable Island, Canada 



Article describes changes in size, shape, and position of Sable Island, Canada, determined 

 from comparative photos. Photos taken in 1952, 1955, 1959, and 1964 were used to map 

 the island. Photos compared to charts prepared in 1766, 1851, and 1899 show that the 

 island had migrated eastward about 10 miles between 1799 and 1959. Short term changes 

 were also observed by comparative photos. The article discusses the liistory, geology, and 

 ecology of Sable Island.
