Modeling hurricane impacts on beaches, dunes and barrier islands

In order to address such questions the Morphos-3D project was initiated. This project brings together models, modelers and data on hurricane winds, storm surges, wave generation and nearshore processes (wave breaking, surf and swash zone processes, dune erosion, overwashing and breaching). For modeling nearshore processes the authors were funded by the European Research Office of USACE-ERDC to provide advice and algorithms, After some iterations the best way to do this was found to be the development of an open-source program dedicated to this problem. This program was given the name of XBeach for eXtreme Beach behavior model,
