Description: Rapid shoreline changes at Stromboli Island have been documented from maps and aerial photographs dating from 1938 to 2003. Shorelines digitized from aerial photographs, taken at decadal intervals on average, show that while cliffed tracts were relatively stable, beaches on the N and NE side of the island experienced alternating accretion and erosional stages linked, respectively, with the contemporary eruptions and with sediment redistribution and/or the washing out and loss of sediment to deeper waters. Sciara del Fuoco, on the central-western side of the island, is where most of the volcanic products have accumulated during the practically continuous activity of the last two thousands years; from there, sands and gravel drift alongshore and are added to beaches on the N and NE side of the island. A simple model of clockwise longshore drift along the W, N, and NE coasts of the island is presented, taking into account the influences of manmade structures on shoreline changes.
