Another fundamental element in diachronic studies
for investigating the movement of the coastline is
aerial
photographs
and
orthophotographs

Some indicative studies which have used aerial
photographs and orthophotographs data for shoreline
mapping are referred below. Anand et al. (2016) used
aerial photographs to investigate the range of the shoreline and erosion changes along a coast of Mauritius. Del
Río et al. (2013) in the South-Atlantic coast of Spain
used aerial photographs and orthophotographs in order
to investigate the shoreline evolution in conjunction
with the diverse morphological and dynamic factors
controlling the beach development. Schwarzer et al.
