Topography
Topographic data are information about the elevation of the surface of the Earth. Topographic data is collected by using StoneX D-GPS every month on 16 transects between Ada and Aflao, consisting of 16 communities. The topographic data here includes cross-shore elevation profile data at an equal distance of 5 km along the beach, beach widths and sediment characteristics. Sixteen ground control pillars were mounted at profile data collection points (Aflao, Denu, Adina, Seven Seas, Blekusu, Keta groin, Keta Fort, Tegbi, Woe, Avume, Anloga, Whuti, Atiteti, Atorkor, Dzita, and Fuveme). To see the profiles for each site please, select the site by the filter icon on the figure and the year and submit.
