|a A mathematical model was used to predict the effect of climate change on
soft and hard rock coasts in a 2mtidal environment. Erosional equations represented
the effect of wave impact and bottom generated shear stresses in the intertidal and
subtidal zones. Model runs were made for: 2900 years with constant sea level; a
further 100 years, representing the last century, with either constant or slow sea level
rise (0.2 m per century); and another 100 years, representing the present century,
with either slow or fast (1 m per century) sea level rise, and with either no change in
storm frequency or with a 10% increase in the frequency of the highest waves. The
results suggest that rising sea level will trigger faster rates of cliff recession, whereas
increased storm wave frequency may have only a fairly minor effect on erosional
efficacy.Model runs were used to derive a series of predictive equations relating cliff
recession during the present and last centuries. |
