This research has been done as one of the joint research between Toyo University, JAPAN and Institute of Technology Sepuluh Nopember, INDONESIA. The hydraulics and remote sensing team from both universities focussed on the change of shoreline near the mouth of Surabaya River and Land utilization.
In this paper, the flow tendency in the Madura Strait that the Surabaya River pours is analyzed from the tide tables data and the satellite images. Rapid progress of the coastline in the vicinity of the Surabaya River mouth is thought to be caused by the movement and subsidence of the floatage earth and sand by the tendency.
SPOT satellite data in 1981 and 1989, LANDSAT satellite data in 1985 and 1994, MOS satellite data in 1988 and 1991 and RADARSAT satellite data in 1997 are used.
