Beach Ridges Runup

This repository contains a series of Jupyter notebooks designed to calculate the indicative meaning of beach ridges for paleo sea-level studies. To run the notebooks, it is recommended to install three separate environments in Anaconda to avoid conflicts between library versions.

Installation

1. Install the Copernicus Marine Service Toolbox

1. Create a new environment (Python 3.11.x) and use the following commands in the conda terminal:

   conda create -n copernicus python=3.11
   conda activate copernicus
   conda install conda-forge::copernicusmariyne --yes
   conda install ipykernel
   conda install notebook -y
   conda install -c conda-forge pytmd
   pip install windrose
   pip install cartopy
   pip install astropy --upgrade

2. Download the FES2014 tidal model from the Aviso+ website (registration required) and place it in the aviso-fes-main folder.

2. Install the CoastSat Toolbox

1. Create a new environment and install CoastSat:

   conda create -n coastsat python=3.11
   conda activate coastsat
   conda install -c conda-forge geopandas -y
   conda install -c conda-forge earthengine-api scikit-image matplotlib astropy notebook -y
   pip install pyqt5 imageio-ffmpeg

2. Download CoastSat from GitHub and unzip its contents into the CoastSat-master folder.

3. Download CoastSat.slope from GitHub and place it in the CoastSat.slope-master folder.

3. Install py-wave-runup

1. Create a new environment with Python 3.11.x:

   conda create -n pywaverunup python=3.11
   conda activate pywaverunup
   conda install pandas numpy notebook -y
   pip install -U scikit-learn
   pip install seaborn

How to Use

The workflow consists of three steps:

1. Run the Step 1 - Waves_and_Tides.ipynb notebook in the main folder of the repository.
2. Run the Step 2 - Beach slope.ipynb notebook located in the CoastSat-master folder.
3. Run the Step 3 - Runup.ipynb notebook located in the py-wave-runup-master folder.

Each notebook produces files that are used in the subsequent step.

Applications

This workflow was tested in a paper in preparation by Rovere et al. If you use this repository for your research, please send your papers to alessio.rovere@unive.it.
