papers discuss remote sensing applications in marshlands, estuaries, and shallow water 

 bodies. Chapter XII, "Aerial Photographic Studies of Shallow Water Benthic Ecology," 

 describes topics related to coastal engineering. Described are applications of color and color 

 infrared photos, multispectral photos, multispectral scanner imagery, and infrared scanner 

 imagery. An extensive bibliography is included.

Paper presents an investigation of coastal landforms of Cat Island, Bahamas. Photo 

 interpretation was an integral part of the study. Two sets of photos dated 1943 and 1958 

 were used. Patterns of coastal landforms are described and illustrated. Although the study 

 examined the Holocene accretionary topography and evidence of sea-level change on the 

 island, it is useful as a general investigation of coastal geomorphology. Coastal landforms of 

 Cat Island are described in detail.

Paper describes water resources applications of infrared imagery. Basic characteristics and 

 operation of infrared scanners are described. Infrared imagery taken at four tidal stages to 

 examine currents in the Merrimack River estuary of Massachusetts is discussed. Location of 

 river water— sea water interface was observed on infrared imagery and apphcations of the 

 imagery in thermal effluent dispersion studies are presented. Image enhancement techniques 

 to improve interpretation of infrared imagery are discussed. Authors state that temperatures 

 of 1° centigrade can be detected and recorded on infrared imagery taken with the proper 

 combination of detector parameters. Infrared imagery provides a synoptic view of the 

 thermal characteristics of large water bodies and is concluded to be a useful tool.

A study of coastal processes using color photos taken from a tethered balloon is presented. 

 Equipment was a homemade polyethylene balloon with an aerodynamic shape and a radio 

 controlled 35-mm camera. Time-lapse photos of dye released in wave -generated longshore 

 currents were used to analyze dynamic coastal processes in the surf zone. The system
