Hello,
I have two technical questions on how the lateral marsh erosion is implemented in SLAMM 6.7.
1)Let's say the rate of marsh erosion is 2 m/yr. How are the cells actually updated?
I assume the cells are updated every time step, maybe every year.
How do you implement the erosion of 2 m in a cell that is likely much larger than 2 m?
Do you implement a sort of partial cell erosion?
2)Also, when you erode a cell marsh by lateral erosion, what elevation do you impose to the update cell? A fixed elevation of the tidal flat?
Thanks,
Giulio
