<p>The Coastline Evolution Model (CE<p>The Coastline Evolution Model (CEM) addresses predominately sandy, wave-dominated coastlines on time-scales ranging from years to millenia and on spatial scales ranging from kilometers to hundreds of kilometers. Shoreline evolution results from gradients in wave-driven alongshore sediment transport. The model has been used to represent varying geology underlying a sandy coastline and shoreface in a simplified manner and enables the simulation of coastline evolution when sediment supply from an eroding shoreface may be constrained. CEM also supports the simulation of human manipulations to coastline evolution through beach nourishment or hard structures. To learn more about the models in this lab, specifically the Coastal Evolution Model, CEM, you can download the presentation.</p></br></br><p>This lab includes experiments to couple the terrestrial and coastal domains. We will be looking at a river supplying sediment to a coastal zone, along which wave-driven longshore transport occurs. We will learn about the effect of incoming wave fields, the effect of sediment supply to the coast, and whether this supply happens through a single delta channel or multiple delta channels. Many deltas are classified as wave-dominated deltas, the Arno Delta in Italy is one example.</p>ominated deltas, the Arno Delta in Italy is one example.</p>  +
