The aim of the course is to: 1) provide basic concepts for the analysis of the long-term morpohodynamic evolution of coastal systems like e.g., barrier systems, lagoons, deltas, and estuaries; 2) address the role of biogeomorphic processes on the morphological equilibrium and dynamics of coastal systems; 3) analyse response of coastal systems to changes in the governing environmental forcings is then analyzed.
Students will learn how to carry out quantitative analyses on the biomorphodynamic response of coastal systems to current climate changes and increasing human pressure.
