This article illustrates the development and functioning of a dynamic spatial model that simulates the effects of gradual sea‐level rise on coastal areas. Emphasis is given to identifying the dynamics of coastal systems and translating them into a spatially explicit dynamic simulation model. The model is designed to be flexible enough to serve as a base model for interdisciplinary research on sea‐level rise and coastal dynamics. An application is provided for a coastal area on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
