QUESTION

In the simplest case, the shoreline shore retreats by "passive submergence", that is the water just comes up on the sloping land surface and moves landward like it would on your driveway. If the slope of the north shore of Great South Bay is 0.001, that is, the land surface rises in elevation 10 m if you travel 10 km away from the shore. How far would the shoreline migrate if sea level were to rise 0.5 m over the next 100 years.
