Learning outcomes
The students at the end of the course is able to classify and manage a coastal zone, suggest nature based solution for its maintenance and protection from natural and anthropic events (as storms, pollution salt intrusion) considering the future climate change scenarious. Moreover, the students at the end of the course is able to estimate the marine renewable energy resource and to propose solutions for their conversion.
Course contents
The course will introduce and describe the processes that characterize the interaction between the oceanic environment and coasts.
The course is organized in 2 parts:
Part 1 The coastal environment 3 CFU
Part 2 Ocean Engineering 3 CFU
Specific topics that will be taught are:
- Coast management and beach design
- Beach hydrodynamics and morphodynamics
- Sea wave monitoring
- Nature based solutions for coastal protection
- Sea wave mechanics
Readings/Bibliography
Lecture notes will be distributed by the teachers.
Teaching methods
The course is taught through frontal lectures in presence. Part of them are dedicated to simple data analysis and solutions. These lectures will be developed at the computer.
Assessment methods
The preparation of the student will be assessed through an oral examination.
The exam is passed if the student proves to be prepared on the theoretical principles and analytical derivations that were taught during the lectures. The teacher will explicitly mention to students during the lectures what are the basic questions that one needs to rigorously address in order to pass the exam. The speaking capability will also be evaluated. The laude is reserved to students who are excellently prepared and prove to have integrated their preparation with personal in-depth analysis.
Teaching tools
Teachers will made available notes. Scientific papers may be distributed during the lectures as well as summaries of recent research outcomes.
Lectures will be delivered with the physical presence of the teacher and will also be made available via online streaming.
Moreover, the teacher makes available videos of the lectures (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzpKSIoIBFCOi6rqXfMoUVrEZ_YcuBG9N).Links to further information
