Abstract

Due to erosion and/or sedimentation of Chilika Lake Inlet Dynamics could be studied by using the Satellite images. Satellite imagery has an important role in studying the dynamics of the inlet. The current study was carried out to investigate spatio-temporal inlet dynamics due to erosion and/or sedimentation by using Remote Sensing and GIS Technique. The study period is between the year 2008 and 2014 of Chilika Lake because in this period Lake inlet extremely dynamic and unstable. During these 6 years the inlet has migrated 1.5 km towards North direction and also three new natural inlet open and one has also merge with old inlet.
