Note on status model
Date note status model

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent	Landscape-Scale, Watershed-Scale
Model domain	Coastal
One-line model description	Geomorphic Model of Barrier, Estuarine, and Shoreface Translations
Extended model description	GEOMBEST is a 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.

Keywords:	barrier island, coastal morphdynamics, coastal sediment transport, morphologic, longshore sediment transport,
