Large-scale coastal behaviour

In today's world, Large-scale coastal behaviour is a topic that has captured the attention and interest of many people in different fields. From politics to science, through culture and society, Large-scale coastal behaviour has become an omnipresent and relevant element in everyday life. As the world evolves and changes, Large-scale coastal behaviour continues to play a central role in our lives, generating debates, reflections and actions that directly impact our reality. In this article, we will explore different facets of Large-scale coastal behaviour and its influence on various aspects of our daily lives, offering an in-depth and revealing analysis of its importance and implications on a global level.

Large-scale coastal behaviour is an attempt to model the morphodynamics of coastal change at time and space scales appropriate to management and prediction. Temporally this is at the decade to century scale, spatially at the scale of tens of kilometers. It was developed by de Vriend.

Modelling large-scale coastal behaviour involves some level of parameterisation rather than simply upscaling from process or downscaling from the geological scale. It attempts to recognise patterns occurring at these scales. Cowell and Thom (2005) recognise the need to admit uncertainty in large-scale coastal behaviour given incomplete process knowledge.
