Resumen
Dominant dynamics of available wave energy dictate coastal gradients in alongshore sediment transport on continental shelves, where large-scale coastal features depend upon wave-induced sediment fluxes. We propose to study wave energy flux (P) variability from high-fidelity simulations of wave climate data, to classify the fundamental patterns of P into morphodynamical regimes, serving as a data-driven indicator for large-scale, and wave-induced coastal evolution. Additionally, we describe the variability of P in a complex system framework to produce a reduced-order model (ROM) of the system of interest. Where we discover, reduce, and solve a symbolic expression that forecasts the spatial variability of P along continental shelves, balancing accuracy, and complexity to obtain a parsimonious model of reality.
