Extended model description “GEOMBEST-Plus” (Geomorphic Model of Barrier, Estuarine, and Shoreface Translations) is a new morphological-behaviour model that simulates the evolution of coastal morphology and stratigraphy, resulting from changes in sea level, and sediment volume within the shoreface, barrier and estuary. GEOMBEST-Plus differs from other large-scale behaviour models (e.g. Bruun, 1962; Dean and Maumeyer, 1983; Cowell et al., 1995; Niedoroda et al., 1995, Stive & de Vriend, 1995 and Storms et al., 2002) by relaxing the assumption that the initial substrate (i.e stratigraphy) is comprised of an unlimited supply of unconsolidated material (typically sand). The substrate is instead defined by distinct stratigraphic units characterized by their erodibility and sediment composition. Additionally, GEOMBEST-Plus differs from its predecessor (GEOMBEST) by adding in a dynamic stratigraphic unit for a backbarrier marsh. Accordingly, the effects of geological framework on morphological evolution and shoreline translation can be simulated.

If the simulation involves a single coastal tract then the files must be titled “erosionresponse”, “accretionreponse”, “run1” file and “tract1.” Quasi-3D simulations require additional files with sequential numbers. For example a simulation involving 3 tracts within a littoral cell also requires a “run2” and “run3” file as well as a “tract2” and “tract3” file. These files must conform to the strict format outlined in the following sections. If you are running multiple simulations of the same tract, you can use the multiple input and output files to keep track of your simulations. Caution: Note that the run# and tract# files will have the same name (tract1, run1, etc., see below) for all simulations and so attention to organization is critical. We suggest noting the changes made in each simulation in a readme file and then moving this file, as well as the input and output folders for each simulation, to a unique folder having an identifying name. Our convention, for example, has been to name each run with using the date and run number on that date as the identifier, e.g., the first simulation run on February 20, 2010 would be titled 02_20_10_01and would be placed in a folder having this name. 6.1: “erosionresponse” file 6.2: “accretionresponse” file 6.3: “run#” file 6.4: “tract#” file Input format Other input format excel Describe output parameters Output parameters: Marsh boundary - gives the position of the backbarrier marsh edge through time Shorelines - gives the position of the barrier shoreline through time step number - saves the surface morphology and stratigraphy for the model at each time step Output format Other output format MAT-file Pre-processing software needed?
