This study investigates how sediment movement influences shoreline dynamics in northern Semarang. Sediments were analysed at multiple locations using core samples, and shoreline change was assessed using Landsat 5, 7 and 8 imagery (1996–2024) processed in Google Earth Engine together with the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS). The results indicate a barrier-island system with strong sediment transport. A local change since 2021 is linked to the closure of an inlet channel. Shoreline-change analysis in four-year intervals from 1996 to 2024 shows erosion as the dominant long-term process, causing shoreline retreat, although local accretion was observed at points TRG-01 to TRG-04 associated with channel closure and sediment build-up. Differences between satellite-derived shoreline metrics and granulometric data reflect temporal and spatial variability: erosion is a long-term trend, while accretion represents short-term local change. Overall, the Tugurejo coast is highly dynamic, dominated by erosion but with localised growth in specific sectors.}, title={Sedimentation Dynamics and Shoreline Changes Harnessing Granulometric and Satellite Imagery Analysis in Coastal Area of Semarang, Central Java}, type={Article}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/137577/9_Khorniawan.pdf}, doi={10.24425/sq.2025.157253}, keywords={shoreline change, sediment dynamics, granulometry, DSAS, Semarang}, }
