Surface OLI SPM concentration, linked to the footprint of the subtidal part of mud banks due to resuspension and migration processes, was used to develop a method to estimate the location of this footprint. A comparison of the results from this method with those obtained by locating the limit of the wave damping, which characterises muddy coasts, revealed good performance of the method based on recurring SPM values. The migration rates of the mud banks in French Guiana were calculated according to the delimitation of their subtidal parts, and showed slightly higher values (2.31 km\/year) than suggested by earlier studies. In comparison with other methods, the migration rate estimated using the method proposed within the framework of this study takes into account the variability of the shape of the subtidal part for the first time. It was also shown that the mud banks existing on the coastal area of French Guiana present two different shapes. Our results clearly demonstrate the advantage of ocean colour data to describe mud banks according to their subtidal part, delimited using the assessment of SPM temporal variability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10111733","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,5]],"date-time":"2018-11-05T10:43:45Z","timestamp":1541414625000},"page":"1733","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["The Advantages of Landsat 8-OLI-Derived Suspended Particulate Matter Maps for Monitoring the Subtidal Extension of Amazonian Coastal Mud Banks (French Guiana)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Noelia","family":"Abascal Zorrilla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre National de La Recherche Scientifique\u2014CNRS, USR3456, 97334 Cayenne, French Guiana, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vincent","family":"Vantrepotte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre National de La Recherche Scientifique\u2014CNRS, USR3456, 97334 Cayenne, French Guiana, France"},{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019Oc\u00e9anologie et de G\u00e9osciences, Universit\u00e9 du Littoral-C\u00f4te-d\u2019Opale, CNRS, Universit\u00e9 de Lille, 32 Avenue Foch, 62930 Wimereux, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erwan","family":"Gensac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire G\u00e9osciences Oc\u00e9an UMR 6538, Universit\u00e9 Bretagne Sud, rue Andr\u00e9 Lwoff, 56000 Vannes, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Huybrechts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cerema Eau Mer Fleuve, 134 rue de Beauvais, 60280 Margny Les Compi\u00e8gne, France"},{"name":"Sorbonne Universit\u00e9, Laboratoire Roberval\u2014FRE UTC\u2014CNRS 2012, Universit\u00e9 de Technologie de Compi\u00e8gne, Centre de Recherche de Royallieu CS 60319, 60203 Compi\u00e8gne, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antoine","family":"Gardel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre National de La Recherche Scientifique\u2014CNRS, USR3456, 97334 Cayenne, French Guiana, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1016\/j.earscirev.2010.09.008","article-title":"The Amazon-influenced muddy coast of South America: A review of mud-bank-shoreline interactions","volume":"103","author":"Anthony","year":"2010","journal-title":"Earth-Sci.
