Coastal Environmental Science - ENVS811
The course is taught around three modules that integrate coastal geoscience with marine climatology, marine ecology, coastal engineering, coastal planning and management. The focus is on the Australian and Pacific Basin coasts. Module 1 focuses on: global to local scale coastal and estuarine processes, environments and resources; coastal biodiversity; coastal and estuarine hazard definition studies. Module 2 focuses on: large-scale coastal behaviour, future coasts, sea-level rise, wave climate change, detecting and attributing change; soft and hard coastal engineering strategies. Module 3 focuses on: coastal Issues and integrated coastal zone management and planning.
