The model explores the balance between erosion and deposition that occurs through time as bottom shear stresses change relative to tidal flat elevation. It has been used to demonstrate that the transition from tidal flat to salt marsh occurs abruptly, rather than continuously, when sediment input reaches a critical value related to local wind climate and fetch length of a specific basin.

XBeach Applied to Coral Reef
XBeach is a coastal morpho-dynamics model that predicts sediment transport and morphology under the influence of wave dynamics. Xbeach is designed to model coastal changes under the influence of storms and hurricanes and helps assess coastal protection measures. Dr. van Dongeren, one of the core model developers, successfully applied XBeach to investigate longwave dynamics at a remote fringing coral reef in West-Australia. The simulations showed that on the reef platform 50% of the bed shear stresses originates from infragravity waves. More...
