We aim to produce an integrated model of the coast that can predict coastal changes for estuaries, gravel beaches, sandy beaches and dunes, and cliffs made up of both hard and soft rock.

The model incorporates climate projections to the 2020s, 2050s, 2080s and our best understanding of long-term coastal change to 2100, 2200 and 2500AD.

A Decision Support System will enable stakeholders and communities to engage with future scenarios and impact on energy and coastal management policy.

DSS features
  • Using open source GIS
  • Illustrating coastal change as a series of maps and scenarios
  • Flood risk maps
  • Modelled changes of shoreline position, coastal morphology and ecology
  • Network resilience analysis

Inundated areas shown should not be used for regulatory, permiting, or other legal purposes. The University of Liverpool (as part of the ARCoES project) provides these maps and data "as-is" for a quick reference, decision support tool, but assumes no legal liability or responsibility resulting from the use of this information.

Hazard to people
ThresholdDegreeDescription
< 0.75
Low
Caution: Flood zone with shallow water or deep standing water
0.75 - 1.25
Moderate
Dangerous for some (i.e., children): Flood zone with deep or faster flowing water
1.25 - 2.0
Significant
Dangerous for most people: Flood zone with deep or fast flowing water
> 2.0
Extreme
Dangerous for all: Flood zone with deep or fast flowing water
Threshold(H) = d(v + 0.5) + DF, where d is the flood depth, v is the flood velocity and DF is the debris factor (DF)
