 Dissertation describes a study of rehct beach ridges by photos and field studies. The study 

 was to determine the location of former shorelines by mapping relict beach ridges on the 

 barrier islands and adjacent mainland near the Outer Banks of North Carolina and Virginia. 

 Photos were viewed stereoscopically and also at a low-viewing angle to detect and map the 

 linear beach ridges. Viewing photos from a point 5° or 10° above the horizontal plane and 

 slowly rotating the photos has been successful in locating linear features difficult to 

 detect. Description of shoreline locations based on relict beach ridges are presented. Photos 

 illustrating beach ridges and other coastal landforms are included.

Widely used text for university photogrammetry courses. Book provides a comprehensive 

 coverage of photogrammetry in a clear and simphfied manner. Chapters on camera 

 characteristics, photo geometry, flight planning, and photo measurements are included. Use 

 of photogrammetry for mapping is covered in chapters on radial line plotting and 

 planimetric mapping, stereo viewing principles and parallax measurements, geometry of 

 overlapping vertical photos, photo orientation, stereo plotting instruments, and mosaic 

 construction. Chapters on mapping from oblique photos and terrestrial photogrammetry are 

 also included. Book is a good introduction to the field of photogrammetery.

Report presents an investigation of shoreUne features and their changes from periodic 

 photos. Photos illustrate changes in coastal features at Price Inlet, South Carolina; 

 Matagorda Peninsula and the Brazos River Delta, Texas; Cape Lookout, North Carolina; and 

 La Costa Island, Florida. Advantages and disadvantages of using photos in studying coastal 

 changes are discussed. Other uses of periodic photos in investigating dynamic phenomena 

 are mentioned. Comparing periodic photos with older maps and charts in determining long 

 term trends in shorelines is also discussed. Periodic photos were concluded to be an 

 excellent tool for studying shorelines and shoreline changes.
