Historical and recent shore erosion along the Colombian Caribbean Coast

The analysis of historical charts, aerial photographs, satellite images and fieldwork provides a general picture of the magnitudes, rates and some of the possible causes of the main shoreline changes occurred along the littoral since 1794 until present. Net littoral accretion took place mostly on lo...

Data concerning the Guajira Peninsula and Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta shores suggest a coastline retreat of 20-30 m in the last century, while for the southern Caribbean, between the Magdalena delta and the Gulf of Urabá, accurate charts of XVIII-XIX centuries evidence littoral retreat up to 12 km and maximum rates of erosion up to 40 myr-1 at some areas.
