N2 - A new model for simulating shoreline changes over the timescales of engineering interest has been developed, calibrated and evaluated using historical shoreline data from thirteen sites within the United States and Australia. The Engineering Scale Shoreline Model (ESlMod), is an equilibrium based model in which the shoreline continuously evolves towards an equilibrium position determined by the dynamic local conditions. The model is forced by variations in the local water surface elevation, including the influence of wave setup. The rate at which the equilibrium shoreline position is approached is a function of the degree of disequilibrium and a coefficient which can either be treated as a calibration constant or parameterized in terms of the local conditions.
