The influence of sea level rise on sandbank morphodynamics: a sensitivity analysis

The development of sandbanks as presently captured in morphodynamical models is assumed to occur under a constant waterdepth over time. This assumption needs to be reconsidered as it takes centuries to millennia for a sandbank to evolve towards equilibrium and during that same period the process of sea level rise may significantly change the average waterdepth. Therefore the possible influence of sea level rise on the sandbank morphodynamics is investigated within this project.
