Using GenCade to Create a Sediment Budget in SBAS

Abstract

This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) presents a new connection between GenCade, a shoreline change and sand transport model (Frey et al. 2012a), and the Sediment Budget Analysis System (SBAS) (Dopsovic et al. 2003). Two of the main GenCade outputs are shoreline change and longshore transport rates, which can be analyzed to develop a sediment budget. A new, automated connection utilizes the results of a GenCade simulation as input for a sediment budget in SBAS. The step-by-step process is described in this CHETN. This CHETN is intended for those who have experience with GenCade and have at least a conceptual knowledge of how to construct a sediment budget.
