Longshore Transport Modeling

Project Description

This study conducted Region 1 and 4 Longshore Transport Modeling to identify the sand transport pathways, sand transport rates and define the littoral cells and associated sediment budget for sand and other sediments along the Texas Gulf facing beaches. The final work order under this project is the submission of GIS deliverables by Freese and Nichols from the proprietary model developed by HR Wallingford. The objective is to receive shapefiles of the longshore transport modeling data in a format that can be added to a Public Viewer. The user should be able to "zoom into a beach" click a see a generated pop-up with the annual net average direction and magnitude of sand movement. Project must be completed by July 2023.
