Abstract

This paper aims to describe a methodology to be used in the monitoring of coastal environments, through the creation of Digital Terrain Models (MDT) from the altimetric data collection by DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System) equipment operated in Stop and Go mode and to discuss the results and applications, concluding that it is a very effective technique if applied in beaches of small extent.
