Summary
Also known as CoastalME, it is a C++ package to support the creation of numerical dynamic models to simulate coastal landscape evolution on spatial scales of kms to tens of kms, over decadal to centennial timescales. It has been designed with and for coastal engineers and practitioners seeking to simulate the interaction of multiple coastal landforms and different types of human interventions (e.g. grey and nature based solutions) to better manage the compound risk of coastal flooding and erosion.

History
It was first released in 2017[1] as a proof of concept under the NERC funded iCoast project. The initial core team of developers<ref name="Payo2017"> described in detail the rationale behind CoastalME and demonstrated how it can be used to integrate; the Soft Cliff and Platform Erosion model SCAPE, the Coastal Vector Evolution Model COVE and the Cross Shore model CSHORE.
