Assessing the impact factors and corresponding weights affecting the coastal morphology of Hsinchu Coast, Taiwan
This study investigates the long-term morphological pattern of the Hsinchu coast in northwestern Taiwan using three different methods: long-term isobath and shoreline change analysis, bathymetric volume change analysis, and the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) method. Our objectives include analyzing and understanding the effects of anthropogenic structures, natural processes, and their combined impacts on coastal morphological change. The shoreline analysis and bathymetric volume analysis briefly reveal that the morphological pattern of Hsinchu coast. Then, EOF analysis is applied to identify the dominant impact factors affecting the coastal morphology near the harbor, determine the weights of the impact factors, and infer the impact range of anthropogenic structures. Moreover, the EOF analysis is divided into two-time segments—namely, the periods 2005–2010 and 2017–2021—based on different bathymetric surveys and the corresponding values of impact factors. The primary and secondary EOF modes are strongly linked to the “interaction between wave and structure” and “interaction between river discharges and structure”, respectively. The spatial components of the EOF modes demonstrate that the impact range influenced by river discharges was mainly located in the northern part of the harbor, while the minimum impact range of the structures on coastal morphological interaction changes under natural factors was 3.5 km south of Hsinchu Fishing Harbor.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sea Research is an international and multidisciplinary periodical on marine research, with an emphasis on the functioning of marine ecosystems in coastal and shelf seas, including intertidal, estuarine and brackish environments. As several subdisciplines add to this aim, manuscripts are welcome from the fields of marine biology, marine chemistry, marine sedimentology and physical oceanography, provided they add to the understanding of ecosystem processes.
