This report documents a numerical modeling system named GENESIS, which is designed to simulate long-term shoreline change at coastal engineering projects a s produced by spatial and temporal changes i n longshore sand transport. The name "GENESIS" is an acronym that stands for GENEralized Model for SImulating Shoreline Change, Typical longshore extents and time periods of modeled projects can be i n the ranges of 1 to 100 km and 1 to 100 months, respectively , and almost arbitrary numbers and combinations of groins , detached breakwaters, seawalls, jetties , and beach fills can be represented. GENESIS contains what is believed to be a reasonable balance between present capabilities to efficiently and accurately calculate coastal sediment processes from engineering data and the limitations in both the data and knowledge of sediment transport and beach change.
