Modelling Coastline Change of the Darss-Zingst Peninsula with Sedsim - The Baltic Sea Basin - page 293

the sea level rose about 2.5 m. This information was used for the simulation of a
local worst-case sea level scenario.
14.5 Results and Discussion
The natural development of the Darss-Zingst peninsula for the next 840 years was
modelled with various set-ups in order to develop an understanding about the rele-
vance and influence of the different input data and providing sensitivity tests for the
Sedsim model. The structure of Sedsim allows an easy toggle of the different mod-
ules. In experiment A, the WAVE (HEIGHT) module was switched on, together with
biannual storms declared in STORMS module. The resulting shape of the model
area after 840 years is depicted in Fig. 14.8a .
Fig. 14.8 Modelling results after 840 years. Distance from shore classification: (I) unchanged
inland, (II) modified inland, (III) shoreline, (IV) marine but near shore, (V) open marine, (VI)
unchanged open marine. a Experiment A, active modules: WAVE (HEIGHT) and STORMS. b
Experiment B, active modules: WAVE (HEIGHT), STORMS, and SEA LEVEL. c Experiment C,
active modules: WAVE (HEIGHT), STORMS, SEA LEVEL, and TECTONICS. d Experiment D,
active modules: WAVE (HEIGHT), STORMS, SEA LEVEL, TECTONICS. In addition, the sea
level height was set to the height of the storm flood in 1872
