Climate change and its impacts, combined with unchecked human activities, intensify
pressures on coastal environments, resulting in modification of the coastal morphodynamics …

The ability to repeatedly observe and quantify the changing position of the shoreline is key
to present-day coastal management and future coastal planning. This study evaluates the …

Abstract UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or “drones”) for routine survey applications at the
coast have come of age, and are no longer 'the latest thing'more suited to the specialist …

Satellite remote sensing is becoming a widely used monitoring technique in coastal
sciences. Yet, no benchmarking studies exist that compare the performance of popular …

Topographic measurements for detailed studies of processes such as erosion or mass
movement are usually acquired by expensive laser scanners or rigorous photogrammetry …

Extratropical cyclones (ETCs) are the primary driver of large-scale episodic beach erosion
along coastlines in temperate regions. However, key drivers of the magnitude and regional …

Publicly available satellite imagery can now provide multi-decadal time series of shoreline
data from local to global scale, enabling analysis of sandy beach shoreline variability across …

Long-term observational datasets that record and quantify variability, changes and trends in
beach morphology at sandy coastlines together with the accompanying wave climate are …

Shoreline change information is critical for effective management of the coastal zone. This
study presents a low-cost method for mapping shoreline change that harnesses smartphone …
