DIGITAL MAPPING OF HURST CASTLE SPIT,HAMPSHIRE

This paper serves two purposes. The first is to make available to the geomorphological community the first in a short series of up-to-date digital maps of ‘classic’ coastal landforms of the U.K. — Hurst Castle Spit. The second is to demonstrate that conventional surveying techniques and readily available graphics software on a PC or Mackintosh will provide an entry into digital mapping for geomorphological applications. Comments are included on how the digital map may be utilized.
