The Wax Lake Delta Case Study compares the CLEAR landscape change module (Visser et al. 2008) to the geo-engineering model developed by Parker and Sequiros (2006) . Both models are used to investigate delta building dynamics considering different sediment loads within the Wax Lake Outlet. Hydrographs from the last 25 years are applied to the CLEAR model and sediment load values (38 Mt/yr) are used in the geo-engineering model. These data are applied in 10% increments (10 – 200 %), and the resulting landscape change animations are provided at a 5-year time step (static maps at 10-year time step) through 100 years.
