EVOLUTION OF ARCTIC CONTINENTAL SHELVES: MODELLING MORPHODYNAMIC FEEDBACKS TO CLIMATE-DRIVEN INCREASES IN SEA STATES

Arctic continental shelves, including the Alaskan Beaufort Shelf (ABS), are experiencing declines in sea ice coverage and duration which are leading to increasingly energetic sea states and coastal erosion. A Delft3D sediment transport model was developed to test how present-day and projected future...
