Abstract

The need for a simple process-based numerical cliff and shore platform erosion modelling tool is established and the development of one such model, called cliffSCAPE, is described. CliffSCAPE, predicts the shore profile and variation in retreat rate rather than average retreat, which is fixed by calibration against historic data. It is used to produce a model of a study site on The Naze peninsula on the East coast of England. Comparison between model output and measurements from the study site are good.
