This paper describes modifications to SCAPE 2D that allow the influence
of horizontal layers of different material strength to be considered.
The model has been previously used to simulate shore recession at a
number of soft-rock sites including the Naze, Essex, UK (Walkden and
Hall, 2005) and north Norfolk,UK(Dickson et al., 2007). Herewemodify
SCAPE to explore generic soft-rock shore platformand cliff responses to
the impact of a single layer of more resistant rock, a single layer of less
resistant rock, and multiple layers of variable resistance.
