Databased simulation and reconstruction of the near shore geomorphological structure and sediment composition of the German tidal flats

Abstract: <p>With an area of almost 10,000 km², the project area represents the tidal flats on Germany’s North Sea coast. The tidal flats and their channels as well as morphologically highly active estuarine systems undergo significant erosional and sedimentational processes that prove difficult the assessment of sedimentological composition based on relatively few and temporally far stretched field measurements. The holistic databased simulation of both the internal structure of… Show more

“…Relative sea levels were ∼120-130 m lower than the present-day sea level at the end of the Pleistocene (∼25,000-20,000 years before the present [BP], Spratt & Lisiecki, 2016). As such, the model region was >400 km distant from the coast at that time (Ehlers et al, 2011), considering −37 masl as the minimum surface elevation in the modeled area (LBEG, 2000;Sievers et al, 2020). The global Late Pleistocene sea-level minimum was followed by fast SLR with rates in the range of ∼1 m per century (c) −1 until ∼9000 BP (Spratt & Lisiecki, 2016).…”

“…As it was designed to be highly modular, it can therefore be expanded with new components very easily. Currently, the integration of the subsurface sediment composition of the morphologically active or activatable space is under development (see methodology excerpt in the conference presentation of Sievers et al, 2020) in the publicly funded KFKI project "Stratigraphic Model Components for the Improvement of High-Resolution and Regionalized Morphodynamic Simulation Models" (SMMS) in cooperation with the German Federal Waterways Engineering and Research Institute and the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency of Germany. SMMS aims to provide consistent and continuous stratigraphical data of the sub-seafloor and adjacent estuaries to further improve the ability of hydrodynamic numerical model systems to assess erosional processes.…”
