Short summary
This paper presents a new modelling framework that reconstructs the history of rocky shores using cosmogenic nuclide data. The model can be applied to both eroding and stable coasts, and allows users to test how factors like cliff retreat, down-wearing and sea-level change have shaped coastal landscapes. It provides a flexible tool for exploring long-term coastal evolution across diverse environments.
