However, little is known about the response of the shoreface profile to sea level change. Here we investigate shoreface behavior in response to sea level change at rates of 1-10 mm/yr. Geochronological evidence from a wave-dominated barrier coast setting in southeastern Australia is used to calibrate a numerical morphodynamic model, which is then applied in a series of exploratory simulations. The simulations demonstrate that the depth limit of time-invariant shoreface geometry increases for slower rates of sea level change. However, the findings also suggest that depth-decaying lower-shoreface response, which occurs between the limit of time-invariant profile form and the shoreface toe, is most significant for timescales relevant to late-Quaternary coastal evolution and projected climate change.
