Abstract: Coastal erosion is a natural phenomenon occurs along to Vietnamese coastline as well as other countries around the world, where the coastal process is occurring. However, climate change and human activities cause this problem more seriously. In this paper, the authors used remote sensing methods combined with field survey, and previous studies to investigate erosion mechanism of Doi Duong beach, Phan Thiet city. MIKE 21 software was also applied to assess the impact of wind, wave, and tides on process of coastal erosion. The results showed that, potential erosion mainly caused by waves and wind which occur in the period of 2 monsoons. Based on the studied results and the tourism use, authors have proposed method of beach nourishment for coastline protection in this area.
Keywords: Coastal erosion, mechanism erosion, wave, tide, MIKE 21, nourishment, Esta Rock.
