Bed-level change due to marine-driven dune erosion occurs when the total water level exceeds the base of the dune, or the dune toe (``zToe``). See :ref:`marine-driven_morphodynamics` for more information.

Wave-driven dune erosion occurs when the TWL exceeds the dune toe elevation (``dune_toe_elevation``) [m]. The amount of sediment eroded from the dune is dependent on the frequency of collisions with the dune and the exceedenace of the TWL over the dune toe elevation. The volume of eroded sediment is calculated following the Palmsten and Holman (2012) dune erosion formula:

where :math:`V` $[m^3/m]$ is volume eroded, :math:`C_s` is the dune erodibility coefficient, and :math:`N_c` is the number of bore collisions.
