CourseDetails
โข Advanced Wave Models: An in-depth study of numerical wave models, including SWAN, WAM, and WAVEWATCH III, focusing on their physics, parameterizations, and applications in coastal resilience.
โข Coastal Hazards and Climate Change: Analysis of the impacts of climate change on coastal hazards, such as sea-level rise, storm surges, and erosion, and their implications for wave forecasting.
โข Remote Sensing for Wave Analysis: Utilization of remote sensing technologies, such as satellite altimetry and synthetic aperture radar (SAR), to measure ocean waves and validate wave models.
โข Data Analysis and Visualization: Techniques for analyzing and visualizing wave data, including time series analysis, spectral analysis, and wave hindcasting.
โข Wave-Structure Interaction: Understanding the interaction between waves and coastal structures, such as breakwaters, seawalls, and dunes, and its impact on coastal resilience.
โข Stochastic Wave Modeling: Introduction to stochastic wave models, such as the Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum and the JONSWAP spectrum, and their applications in wave forecasting.
โข Wave Prediction and Forecasting Systems: Design and implementation of wave prediction and forecasting systems, including data assimilation, ensemble forecasting, and uncertainty quantification.
โข Coastal Vulnerability Assessment: Methods for assessing coastal vulnerability to wave-induced hazards, including exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity.
โข Wave-Current Interactions: Investigation of the interactions between waves and currents, including tidal currents, river currents, and wind-driven currents, and their impact on wave forecasting.
