Simulating Shoreline and Nearshore Changes: The LX-ST Model

Résumé

This paper presents LX-ST, a numerical model that simulates shoreline and nearshore evolution over medium-to long-term timescales across diverse sandy coastal environments. It combines the reduced-complexity shoreline model LX-Shore with the shoreface profile translation tool ShoreTrans, enabling it to capture shoreline changes and 3D nearshore morphology. LX-ST accounts for sea-level rise, sediment transport, complex features like artificial structures (e.g., seawalls, groynes), and natural morphologies (e.g., dunes and barriers). The model is tested on synthetic cases, demonstrating its ability to simulate complex coastal configurations. It is then applied to a 5-km beach-dune system in southwest France, which includes a 1.2-km-long seawall. Results show good agreement with observed past shoreline changes and reveal how LX-ST can predict future coastal trajectory shifts, including the eventual retreat and potential disappearance of the beach fronting the seawall. These findings underscore the model's utility in forecasting shoreline
