<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> CoastalME is a software framework to simulate how the 3D coastal landscape evolves</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">over time scales of decades to centuries under different climate and human intervention conditions.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> The main code is built on C++ and uses GDAL/OGR library to read and write the geospatial input/outputs.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> This modelling framework is described in detail in the Geoscientific Model Development Journal,
<a href="https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-10-2715-2017">https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-10-2715-2017</a>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> Change in coastal morphology is represented by means of dynamically linked raster and geometrical objects.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> A grid of raster cells provides the data structure for representing quasi-3-D spatial heterogeneity and sediment conservation.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> Other geometrical objects (lines, areas and volumes) that are consistent with, and derived from, the raster structure represent a
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> library of coastal elements (e.g. shoreline, beach profiles and estuary volumes) as required by different landform-specific models.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> Since the first proof of concept v1.0 (2017,
<a href="https://github.com/coastalme/coastalme">https://github.com/coastalme/coastalme</a> ), CoastalME has been developed significantly (<a href="https://github.com/davefavismortlock/coastalme_TESTING">https://github.com/davefavismortlock/coastalme_TESTING</a>),</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">reaching several releases, with the latest version being 1.1.22. The team of core users and developers of CoastalME has grown significantly over time, and is currently used for both</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">research applications and decision making applications in England and Spain. The most recent interest has been from the European Space Agency, as part of the Destination Earth program (DestinE,
<a href="https://destination-earth.eu/">https://destination-earth.eu/</a>) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> that is a flagship initiative of the European Commission to develop a highly-accurate digital model of the Earth (a digital twin of the Earth) to model, monitor and simulate natural phenomena,
hazards and </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> the related human activities. These groundbreaking features assist users in designing accurate and actionable adaptation strategies and mitigation measures. This has the potential of expanding
the CoastalME user and developer</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">over the next two years. In this context, our goal is to enable the co-development of a coastal simulation model suitable for geospatial decision making and planning.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Historically, CoastalME was a project initiated by Oxford University responding to the demand of holistic simulation models for decision making.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> The research done on Integrated COASTal sediment systems (iCOAST) (2012-2016) (NERC Reference : NE/J005584/1) with EA as an embedded stakeholder produced a
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> positive change to UK public services and is enabling the change needed to transition to a better adapted UK coastline to the risk of coastal flooding and erosion.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Out of iCOAST research, the EA produced a report on coastal morphological modelling for decision makers:

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/603793e0e90e07055b44b743/Coastal_morphological_modelling_for_decision-makers_-_report.pdf</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Since its inception as part of the iCOAST project, CoastalME has always been an open-source project, and now has been adopted by the British Geological Survey as the main modelling framework
of coastal change.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">With the support of OSGeo, CoastalME aims to expand its community,
