Course Objectives
The aim of this course is to enhance understanding of coastal erosion, storm surge, and sea level rise as critical and emerging issues for coastal environments, driven by climate change and human activities. The course will cover methods essential for addressing these challenges. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the hydrodynamics of random sea waves, sea level variations, and principles of coastal sediment transport, and to apply their knowledge to analyze coastal engineering problems using numerical modeling tools.
Course Content
Hydrodynamics of random sea waves, coastal currents, principles of coastal sediment transport, coastal erosion and design of erosion control systems, design of coastal protection measures and nature-based solutions, climate change adaptations, design considerations for resilient and sustainable coastal environments.
