Show Details for Open Courses Only
Description
Hours: Three hours lecture and three hours lab per week Prerequisite: ESRM 100; and PHYS 100 or PHYS 101 or PHYS 200 or PHYS 201 or COMP 150 Description: The world's coastlines divide land from sea. They are unique geological environments in their composition and the physical processes shaping them. Along this dynamic intersection of land and oceans, humans have built structures and established communities causing significant conflicts with natural coastal processes. This course will focus on core coastal processes and strategies to cope effectively with the changing shape of the coast. Topics will include hydrodynamics of the coastal zone including wave processes and sediment transport, field measurement techniques, physical coastal responses and applications such as erosion mitigation, beach nourishment, coastal armoring, and shoreline management.
