Abstract
Verbenaya Kosa is accumulative form of the barrier type. It is located on the southeast coast of the Sea of Azov. It is part of the marine edge of the Kuban River Delta and has been formed over the past 200 years under the influence of the simultaneous action of natural and anthropogenic processes. A study of the coastline dynamics of the Verbenaya Kosa has been conducted since the middle of XXth century. The coastline has shifted 80-400 m from 1973 to 2006 in different sections of Verbenaya Kosa. Complex of coastal protection structures (9 km long) was created in 2007. During the construction of the shore protection structure and subsequent period, lithomorphodynamic monitoring of Verbenaya Kosa was carried out. It has included annual topographic-bathymetric measurements of the surface and underwater slope of the accumulative form. The analysis of literature data, engineering survey materials, monitoring data, supplemented by remote sensing data allowed summarize information on the structure and dynamics of the Verbenaya Kosa relief. Historical topographic maps (since 1877) and satellite images of the 1960-1970s, made by the US Geological Survey, were used to evaluate of the long-period dynamics of the studied area. Since 2015, shoreline and submarine bars configuration monitoring has been conducted using Sentinel-2 satellite data. Studies have shown that the development of Verbenaya Kosa was determined by the rate of Kuban Delta extension into the sea water area, sea level fluctuations and changes of the wind-wave regime. Since the middle of XXth century, anthropogenic factor has become determining factor for the Verbenaya Kosa development. Currently, the coastline of it has stabilized.
