CIEG680 - LITTORAL PROCESSES
The course describes processes occurring near the coastline with an emphasis on the response due to hydrodynamic forcing. While some hydrodynamics are covered, the course will only skim over linear wave theory and other hydrodynamic phenomena that you have already had or will see in your other classes. Specific topics to be covered include: sediment characteristics, long-term processes, field measurement techniques, equilibrium beach profiles, cross-shore and alongshore sediment transport, inlets and littoral barriers and morphodynamics.
