Author(s): J. Senthil, K. Indhira, S. Vadivel and J. Murugesan

The proposed research would study the Morphological Changes along the East coast river mouth which are widened due to impact of Tsunami. East coast is severely affected due to Tsunami of 26th December 2004 and several morphological changes along the coast happened. There are numerous Major and Minor rivers that mixes with the sea in this region. All the mouths of the rivers are affected due to Tsunami . River mouths are usually covered with sand, Mangrove forest, and Vegetation cover, Swamps and in some cases settlement. The river mouth, which could not resist the force of Tsunami wave, had suspected greater changes. This necessitates a several changes along the coast and various destructions by using optical remote sensing technology. The GPS would used to map the changes at the river mouth through survey method. The study would suggest measures to overcome the problem due to changes in the river mouth due to Impact of Tsunami.
