mushroomman_toad@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoThis measurement is a factor of pixel size. As resolution increases and pixel width approaches 0, the shoreline length approaches infinity.
Though I guess you’d eventually run into the problem of clearly defining the shoreline once you’re distinguishing between water molecules and grains of sand. is the water between the sand molecules part of the ocean? How concave is the boundary on the stretches between sand grains?

And of course, it’s dynamic as tides and waves change it. And how does wet sand due to rain play into it - we’re now having to differentiate based on salinity of water.
