Sediment Dynamics in Coastal and Estuarine Environments

3 Credits

Focuses on sediment dynamics along the land-sea continuum, from intertidal to nearshore regions. The first part of the course develops relevant sediment-transport theories and equations used in the second part to examine coastal landscapes and features, including sediment/vegetation interactions. Integration of field observations and modeling approaches will be emphasized throughout the course, as will human impacts and responses to climate change.
