CCMORPH v2.0 – New coastal cliffs morphology analysis and visualization toolbox

The improved Coastal Cliffs Morphology Analysis (CCMORPH v2.0) Toolbox offers multiple python scripts designed for streamlining the processes of generating, analyzing, and comparing the morphology of coastal cliffs. It is comprised of a simple, user-friendly, and flexible workflow that uses existing open-source code for processing coastal 3D data and plotting geospatial information. The upgraded toolbox exhibits significant improvements in the methodologies employed to delineate cliff bottom and top points. Moreover, this version covers the automatic comparison of the coastal morphology features directly on the input Digital Elevation Models or on selected coastal profiles. The tool holds immense potential to eliminate the difficulties in automation that often deter oceanographers and coastal geoscientists, thereby facilitating the widespread adoption of automation tools for monitoring and analyzing a broader spectrum of coastal environments.
