Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As executable"As executable" is not in the list (As code, As teaching tool) of allowed values for the "Model availability" property. Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Source web address Source csdms web address Program license type GPL v2 Program license type other Memory requirements Typical run time hours to days In/Output Describe input parameters Sediment availability, vegetation characteristics, tidal forcing, rate of relative sea level rise, tidal network configuration and marsh topography if an actual domain is considered. Input format ASCII Other input format Describe output parameters Channel network configuration and morphology, marsh platform elevations, erosion and accretion rates, relevant geomorphological features Output format ASCII Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? Yes If above answer is yes Matlab Other visualization software Process Describe processes represented by the model The model describes the tidal-network initiation and development, and the vertical accretion of the adjacent marsh platform. Tidal network development is driven by the exceedance of a local hydrodynamic bottom shear stress, controlled by water surface gradients. Marsh vertical growth is modeled by using a sediment balance equation acconting for erosion and deposition terms. The deposition terms account for sediment settling, trapping and organic production.
