The Use of Repeat Photography in Contemporary Geomorphic Studies: An Evolving Approach to Understanding Landscape Change

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The long and continued use of repeat photography, in geomorphology and other natural science studies, attests to the benefits of its employment as a methodology for historical reconstruction and process recognition. This article reviews the use of repeat photography as a tool in observing and understanding geomorphic patterns and processes that have been carried out over the last 40 years. This is not an exhaustive review of the literature, but rather an investigation of the main geomorphic themes that have been studied along with methods of application and adaptations of the methods to improve data quality. Areas of research which have had little to no significant application, but could benefit from its use, are discussed.
