Introduction

The Coastal Working Group (currently 915 members) deals with delta, estuary, bays and lagoons, and nearshore challenges.

Its working goals are to:

Evaluate present knowledge of processes in coastal environments including the human component of those systems
Identify numerical models presently in use and Identify gaps in knowledge and areas where model development or improvement is needed.
Work with the community to populate the CSDMS model toolkit with models of all sorts, ranging from analytical and simplified numerical models that can be shared with the scientific community in stand-alone form, to numerical models that can be linked to models of other environments, via CSDMS, to allow new sorts of questions to be addressed.
To motivate and support populating the toolkit by catalysing collaborations (and proposals) to address interesting and relevant science questions requiring model development and/or model coupling (via Basic Model Interfaces) across different environments, including coastal, terrestrial and marine domains.

 Its working goals are to:<br>
-*Evaluate present knowledge of processes in coastal environments (nearshore, inner shelf, barrier islands, sandy coastlines, rocky coastlines, estuaries, lagoons and marshes, eolian, deltas)— including the human component of those systems (i.e. direct couplings between human manipulations and landscape evolution in deltas and coastlines)—and identify the numerical models presently in use.<br>
+* Evaluate present knowledge of processes in coastal environments including the human component of those systems
-*Identify gaps in knowledge and areas where model development is needed—both poorly understood phenomena requiring basic research and exploratory modeling, and better understood systems for which model reliability should be improved.<br>
+* Identify numerical models presently in use and Identify gaps in knowledge and areas where model development or improvement is needed.
-*Define and address interesting and relevant proof-of-concept questions—questions that require linking together models of different environments, preferably spanning between coastal and terrestrial or marine environments.<br>
