Living on the Edge: Estuaries and Coasts

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Building upon a basic, foundational knowledge of ocean and coastal processes, students will gain wide ranging theoretical, critical, and practical skills required to address coastal climate adaptation challenges. The module takes students on a journey that highlights how the natural processes operating within estuaries and on coasts are a function of external factors (past and present climate, geology, human influences) and feedbacks in which the landforms themselves affect the operation of processes that shape the landforms.
