SUDY AND ANALYSIS OF THE TANG ESTUARY MOUTH BY REMOTE SENSING

Estuaries are among the most important coastal landforms that could be utilized with adequate understanding of their hydrodynamic and morphological conditions as well as their interactions with seas. The research objective was to study variations in Tang Estuary (in Sistan and Baluchestan) over the past years, analyze causes of the variations, and predict/propose a general plot of changes of these estuaries. Tang Estuary is anactive hydrodynamic estuary, whose mouth undergoes various changes every 7 or 8 years on average. The mouth of this estuary opens westward during some years and during some years opens eastward.
