Keywords: Aerial Photographs, Beach Erosion, North Carolina 



Article describes and evaluates a procedure for using photos in a survey of beach erosion in 

 North Carolina. Reference points are selected on photos taken in different years and the 

 distance measured between these points and points located along the dune line and high 

 water line on the transient beach. The measurements are multiplied by the photo scale for 

 ground distances. Difference in the ground distances is the change in beach location over the 

 elapsed time interval. Changes are converted to rates of change by dividing by the time 

 interval. Advantages and Hmitations of this approach are discussed; illustrations of data 

 obtained in North Carolina are presented.

Report describes a comprehensive investigation of ocean outfall dispersion near Newport, 

 Oregon from color photos. Techniques for determining waste concentrations, dispersion 

 coefficients, and water currents from measurements on photos are described. Photos taken 

 during flights over dye patches produced by dropping dye from an aircraft were used in 

 evaluating dispersion characteristics of proposed ocean outfall sites. Results of comparing 

 waste concentrations from photos with conventional boat samplings are presented. A 

 computer program to analyze the photo data and to plot the results is described. Study 

 concluded that photos are an effective and economically feasible method for analysis of 

 ocean waste disperison. Several oblique photos of the outfall are included. The computer 

 programs are presented in the appendixes.
