	abstract = {<p>Coastal zone monitoring is essential in order to understand their evolution and incorporate sustainable\&nbsp;coastal management practices. Frequent data collection is essential but often surveys can be costly and\&nbsp;time-consuming. Several costly and time-consuming tools and techniques have been developed during\&nbsp;the last few years for change detection and monitoring, allowing for both qualitative and quantitative\&nbsp;analysis. In this study we present the ability of an off-the-shelf Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)\&nbsp;coupled with Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry to map and measure coastal features (e.g.\&nbsp;shorelines). The UAS surveys taken place over three campaigns during Autumn 2017 (November),\&nbsp;Spring 2018 (March) and Autumn 2018 (October) in Pinios river deltaic coast. The demonstrated\&nbsp;UAS-SfM methodology produced remote sensing data with great spatial resolution which could be\&nbsp;used to visually identify important parameters for coastal research and management at a fraction of the<br>cost of other available techniques and. Even an off-the-shelf UAS is suitable for repeat surveys to\&nbsp;assess spatial and temporal changes at small spatial extents and to better comprehend how these may\&nbsp;be related with site-specific natural processes along the coast.</p>},
