They serve as tools to facilitate awareness-building, co-creation, and co-design of solutions that can enhance the resilience of coastal cities to the impacts of climate change. As such, these models and tools will be made available to coastal cities, providing a valuable resource for informed decision-making and strategic planning in the face of evolving coastal challenges.

Abstract

This document is a deliverable of the SCORE project, funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101003534. The D3.10, related to Task 3.5 and entitled "User Document for Methods and Models of the Long-term Coastline Evolution," is a WP3 deliverable, specifically a report describing the methods and models used to study long-term morpho-dynamic processes in a climate-change scenario. The long-term evolution of the coastline is estimated through the study of local morpho-dynamic processes and climatic projections. Although a hybrid modeling approach would represent the state of the art, it requires a computational effort that is currently too demanding. Instead, a reduced-physics approach has been implemented, focusing on a long-term morphodynamic model. This approach considers the essential processes influencing coastal evolution, without the complexity of fully coupled 2D/3D sediment transport models. The modeling focuses on evaluating long-term shoreline changes primarily through longitudinal sediment balances, taking into account factors such as longshore and cross-shore processes, river sediment supply, and sea level rise. More than a purely modeling study, the use of these models is crucial for guiding discussions within the Coastal City Living Labs (CCLLs). They serve as tools to facilitate awareness-building, co-creation, and co-design of solutions that can enhance the resilience of coastal cities to the impacts of climate change. As such, these models and tools will be made available to coastal cities, providing a valuable resource for informed decision-making and strategic planning in the face of evolving coastal challenges.
