Coastal erosion simulations, the first one showing the sea current direction with a limited number of water particles, the second simulation is at full water particle saturation. the green line shows permanent structures at the year 2011, and the red line is the future projection of where the coastal edge will have shifted to. The video may load slowly.
An earlier conversation brought up an interesting point of mapping inter-related ecologies that may be effected or will effect the shifting coastline. An example would be bird life that depend on the coastal regions of Auckland to find shelter and forage for food. This may not be entirely advance, as bird movement simulation has already been well documented, and can be found via 'flocking'.
