Coastal and shoreline management increasingly needs to consider morphological change occurring at decadal to centennial timescales, especially that related to climate change and sea-level rise. This requires the development of morphological models operating at a mesoscale, defined by time and length scales of the order 101 to 102years and 101 to 102km. So-called ‘reduced complexity’ models that represent...
Basic formulae have long been used to predict the effects of sea-level rise on coastal recession; for instance, the geometric ‘Bruun rule’ (and its modifications) has often been applied to sandy coasts, both low-lying and steep. However, the behavior of rocky coasts, whether strongly or poorly lithified, should be significantly different than that of sandy coasts given that rocky coast evolution depends...
