The morphological changes are complicated processes involving both natural and human-induced drivers, but it is critical to understand how recent development activities further impact beach morphodynamics and shoreline dynamicity. The study analyzes the overall shoreline morphodynamics in response to the recent development of port and other related infrastructure for annual and decadal scale using two-dimensional (2-D) shoreline changes along with detailed 3-D beach profile volumetric changes for different studied zones along the Gopalpur coast. The results reveal that nearly all studied zones of the Gopalpur shoreline, Zone-4 (EPR = ?05.64 m a?1 and LRR = ?04.25 m a?1), Zone-3 (EPR = ?04.51 m a?1 and LRR = ?07.01 m a?1) and Zone-1 (EPR = ?2.85 m a?1 and LRR = ?01.46 m a?1), experienced erosion between 2010 and 2020 except Zone-2 (EPR = 24.31 m a?1 and LRR = 25.96 m a?1), which showed overall sign of deposition. The interannual shoreline analysis depicted that Zone-1 (tourist beach area) remained almost stable, Zone-2 (south of the breakwater of Gopalpur Port) showed accretion trends, Zone-4 (north side of the port) dominantly showed an erosion pattern, whereas Zone-3 (port area) showed a high level of uncertainty in the context of erosional or deposition trends. Calculated volumetric loss along the surveyed 3-D beach profiles supports these 2-D changes for all the studied zones. The results showed substantial changes in coastal morphodynamics in different studied zones of the Gopalpur region and severe erosion along its northern segment of the constructed coastal infrastructure. These findings can potentially promote effective coastal zone management and prevent further deterioration along the Gopalpur coast in future. � 2022 Elsevier B.V.en-US3-D beach profileBeach morphodynamicsOdisha coastRemote sensingShoreline dynamicityArticlehttps://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0048969722067250
