THE MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF A DYNAMIC INLET SYSTEM, A CASE STUDY IN TRA KHUC INLET, QUANG NGAI PROVINCE, VIETNAM
The central coast of Vietnam has more than sixty inlets and river mouths connected to the South China Sea. They play a vital role in social-economic activities in the region. The morphological changes of a tidal inlet or estuary may cause significant negative impacts on navigation, flood discharge capacity and coastal environment, harming the socio-economical development in the region. This paper presents the morphological analysis of a dynamic inlet system in a wave-dominated, micro-tidal environment in the Central coast of Vietnam and discusses its development, temporal morphological changes in both short-term and long-term time scale under typical conditions that are dominant in the dry and the wet season respectively. The analysis is based on aerial photography, historical maps, satellite images and bathymetry survey data from 1995 to 2006. The annual stream flow, sediment yield of the river connected to the inlet is employed to identify the role of the river to the inlet configuration.
