Polar Coastal Zone Survey Practices and Research on Frontier Issues

Abstract

This paper put forward the concept of the polar coastal zone and expounded the definition and scope of the polar coastal zone and coastline from the connotation of the coastal zone, and analyzed the particularity and importance of the polar coastal zone. Then, the survey and monitoring practices related to the polar coastal zone were summarized from the perspectives of survey and monitoring technology development and related disciplines. At the same time, the frontier issues of polar coastal zone investigation and research were analyzed, also the development direction of the survey and monitoring of the ecological elements of polar coastal zone resources were proposed, that was, to make full use of remote sensing and on-site detection methods to explore regional resources, environmental and ecological elements, temporal and spatial variation characteristics of large-scale and long-term polar coastlines at a low cost. Finally, the knowledge and technology system of "dual-source-data mining-spatial coupling simulation-regional comprehensive assessment-impact simulation and prediction" was constructed, which provided a scientific and technological support for China to build a policy system of the management and protection of regional resource and ecology in the polar coastal zone.
