Estudio Geomorfológico para la Ordenación del Espacio Litoral: Caso del Estuario del Río Purio, República de Panamá
Investigaciones Geográficas(2016)
Abstract
In this paper the geomorphological units and geoforms of the coastal marine area of the Purio river basin (Republic of Panama) are analyzed, with the purpose of analyzing the evidences that allow to discriminate the geomorphological characteristics of the littoral strip, and the coast. For this purpose, the procedures of band enhancement and noise elimination have been applied to the Rapid Eyes image (2012), in the SPRING environment, and the use of the products derived from the geoprocessing of the SRTM - DTED (2011) image (DigitalTerrain Elevation Data), in ArcMap environment (contours, hypsometric and slope data), in addition to field verification. The results of interpolations in GIS and field work indicate that the littoral cords consisting of arrows, paleo-arrows, frontal dunes and sand banks, and the fluvial-marine plain (colonized by Rhizophora mangle) are part of the littoral geomorphological units, and go in tens of meters on the coast. However, the need to recognize the bio-indicator species to support the dynamics of geobiocenosis in each of the geomorphological units and geoforms that make up the marine-coastal zone is identified.
