# Functions
This package offers the ability to perform 5 well established Shoreline Change Analysis functions from transect based shoreline intersection shapefiles (Burningham and Fernandez-Nunez, 2020). The functions produce a full set of associated statistics for each transect in the form of a Pandas DataFrame, along with a graphical production of the shoreline change transects plotted on a satellite image of the region under analysis.
| Function | Description | Output |
| --- | --- | --- |
| EPR (End Point Rate) | Rates of change between oldest and newest shore position divided by the length of time between the two. | Dictionary of EPR values per transect, graphical output of the EPR rates per transect, Pandas DataFrame of Statistics |
| LRR (Linear Regression Rate)| Fits a linear regression model to the change of each shoreline position along a given transect throughout time. Allows for regression statistics to be used to assess positional trend and the confidence levels of this trend. | Linear regression graphs per transect, Dictionary of Linear Regression statistics, Pandas DataFrame of Statistics. |
| SCE (Shoreline Change Envelope) | Maximum distances found between any of the shorelines. | SCE with graphical output of SCE rates on top of satellite Imagery, Dictionary of SCE rates, Pandas DataFrame of Statistics.|
| NSM (Net Shoreline Movement) | Net movement between the oldest shoreline position and most recent shoreline position. | NSM with graphical output of NSM rates on top of satellite Imagery, Dictionary of NSM rates, Pandas DataFrame of Statistics.|
| NSMEandA (Net Shoreline Movement Erosion and Accretion) | Net movement between the oldest shoreline position and most recent shoreline position with erosion and accretion trends being identified. | NSM with graphical output of NSM rates on top of satellite Imagery, Dictionary of NSMEandA rates, Pandas DataFrame of Statistics. |
The volumetric change functions are performed on a time series of Digitial Elevation Models, where each pixel in the succeeding DEM is taken away from the prior DEM producing a final DEM of accretion or erosion rates (Carvahlo et al. 2021). In a coastal setting this can allow sediment volumes across the entire shore to measured. Normalised Gross and Net Crosshore volumetric change rates are calculated according to Burvingt et al., (2017). The full range of functions are defined below.
| Function | Description | Output |
| --- | --- | --- |
Masking | Crops the DEM’s using prior made polygon vector shapefile (*must be saved as 'VolumePoly.shp' in directory folder) and masks regions outside of the desired area to a set data value. | Masked DEM’s saved in the chosen directory with the name ’YYYYMMmasked.tif’ |
DEMofDifference | Identifies the masked DEM’s in directory and iterates through them in order from youngest to oldest creating elevation models of difference. Allows DEM’s of different sizes within the calculation by cropping the larger DEM to the size of the smaller then performing the difference. | Series of elevation difference models along with model of difference graphs with color scale for change rates.|
OldesttoNewest | Creates a DEM of difference between the oldest DEM and Newest DEM providing elevation change rates across the entire period.| Digital Elevation Model of Difference with graphical production with color scale for elevation change rates. |
| NetVolumeChange | Applies the pixel size parameter to the elevation models to calculate volumetric changes using the Oldest to Newest DEMoD.| Volumetric changes within and outside of limits of detection.|
| Seasonal DOD's: winterDOD, autumnDOD, summerDOD, springDOD| Allows user to perform analysis on DEM’s that fall within the same season. It allows an assessment of the impacts that seasonal conditions may have over elevation and volumetric change rates. |Digital Elevation Model of Difference for DEM’s that share seasons with graphical production including color scale for elevation change rates.|

# Data Formatting, Processing and Parameters
For the functions to operate correctly two geodatabase files are needed: 1. Intersections and 2. Transects. The intersection files are the point geometries where the the transect intersects the merged shoreline vector file. The intersection file requires 2 fields with the following field naming conventions; transect number - 'TR_ID' and shoreline date - 'layer', the data of both in integer format. The transect file also requires the corresponding transect identification numbers under the field name 'TR_ID'. These conventions are completed automatically in QGIS or can be added to data sets produced in an alternate system.
## QGIS Workflow Example
Below is a workflow example within QGIS to produce the necessary data files for SCA analysis.
1. Process shoreline vectors form each available date and combine them into one 'Merge Shoreline' shapefile.
2. Create a 'baseline' polyline shapefile on the seaward side of the shorelines - use spline tool if curved baseline is desired.
3. Use the QChainage (QGIS Plugin) to create points along the baseline at a desired spacing.

</p>
4. Use the 'Snap Geometries to Layer' tool to assign the 'chain_baseline' points to the baseline.
5. Use the 'Transect' tool to set perpendicular transects along the new Snapped Geometry line.
6. Use 'Intersections' tool to create point file of intersections between Transects file and Merged Shoreline Shapefile.

7. Save both Intersection and Transect file to the desired directory.

</p>
**Note - A QGIS script that merges elevation files, extracts shoreline contours from each date at user defined heights and merges the shoreline into one shapefile is available in the 'Extras' folder.
For the DEM functions a single polygon shapefile is required to define the region under analysis and mask the DEM's to the set region in question.
## Configuration and Function Parameters
Initial configuration of the dataset is required to add the coordinates of the starting point of the transects (from the seaward side) to the intersection file, remove any duplicate shoreline contours found further along the transect and set up the results folder.
There are two transect locator functions - this is as the coordinates of the transect starting points can be misread as starting from the landward side. If this is the case then Erosion and Accretion and End Point Rates will not be calculated correctly. If the transectstartlocator is incorrect, use the other option transectstartlocator2, both functions produce a plot of the coordinates which can be reviewed to see if correct coordinates are obtained. The cleaning function removes any duplicate intersections along each transect, keeping the one nearest to the seaward baseline. This configuration class also provides the option to add the georeferencing and measurement errors to each shoreline date, passed to the function in the form of a list of errors from youngest to oldest allowing error ranges to be calculated in the EPR method.
| Parameter | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Intersects | Intersection file | GeoDataFrame|
| Transects | Transect file | GeoDataFrame |
| Path | Path to directory | Path name |
| CRS | Sets the Coordinate Reference System of the geometries in the dataframe | Integer|
| georeferror | Margin of error when georeferencing an image or dataset (meters) - used in EPR function | List of Integer or Floats |
| measurementerror | Instrument error ranges (meters) - used in EPR function | List of Integer or Floats |
The two groups of functions to perform the analysis are callable as seperate classes 1. SCA and 2. DOD. Each contain a set of configuration parameters that need to be initially defined when creating an object of said class.

#Set the cleaning configuration
Datacleaning = DataImportandTransectDefinition(CRS = 4326, intersects = intersects, transects = transects, path = path, georeferror=georefs, measurementerror=measurement)
#Assign seaward transect coordinates to intersection dataframe (Check coordinates plot)
Datacleaning.transectstartlocator1()
#Remove duplicate shoreline points
Datacleaning.cleaning()
#Add georeferencing and measurement errors for each shorleine to dataframe and save newly configured intersection file to variable.
intersectiondata = Datacleaning.errors()
#Create and save path to results folder to be set as a parameter in the SCA functions.

An Oceanographic plot function is available that allows you to plot the volumetric changes in a four panel time series with a time series of 3 wave parameters: Height, Direction, Period. The function plots the both the raw time series and the monthly averages, which are calculated as part of the function. The user can plot the dates of each DEM survey on each panel by providing the dates in a pandas DataFrame with a datetime[ns] dtype. The oceanographic data can be provided as a pandas DataFrame with the column names 'Direction(d),Height(m), Period(s) and Date/Time'. The DataFrame output from the DOD function can be fed directly into the Volume argument.
```
OceanographicPlot(save_to_path = results, SurveyDates = surveydates , Volumes = SauntonDODResults, Oceanographic = oceanographic, FigWidth = 12, FigHeight = 10, FontSize = 7, LineWidth = 0.1, SurveyDateLineWidth = 0.7, AxLegendFontSize = 9, AxTickParams = 9, LegendLoc = 'upper left', BottomAxis = 12, BeachVolumeName = ['Saunton'])

The function plots the both the raw time series and the monthly averages, which are calculated as part of the function. The user can plot the dates of each DEM survey on each panel by providing the dates in a pandas DataFrame with a datetime[ns] dtype. The oceanographic data can be provided as a pandas DataFrame with the column names 'Direction(d),Height(m), Period(s) and Date/Time'. The DataFrame output from the DOD function can be fed directly into the Volume argument. \n\n```\nOceanographicPlot(save_to_path = results, SurveyDates = surveydates , Volumes = SauntonDODResults, Oceanographic = oceanographic, FigWidth = 12, FigHeight = 10, FontSize = 7, LineWidth = 0.1, SurveyDateLineWidth = 0.7, AxLegendFontSize = 9, AxTickParams = 9, LegendLoc = 'upper left', BottomAxis = 12, BeachVolumeName = ['Saunton'])\n\nOut:\n```\n\n\n\n\n# References \n \nH.
