Descriere program / Program description:
This course provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary perspective on coastal protection and sustainability in the face of climate change, increasing urbanization, and anthropogenic landscape transformations. It explores strategies for mitigating natural hazards such as landslides, flooding, and coastal erosion, with particular attention to environmentally sustainable interventions in coastal areas situated beneath rocky cliffs and at river mouths. Combining theoretical and practical learning through lectures, group work, and field excursions, the program fosters critical thinking and innovation in sustainable coastal management.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- understand the key challenges posed by climate change and urbanisation to coastal areas;
- acquire knowledge about the concept of risk in the context of natural hazards (landslides, flooding, and erosion) in coastal areas, analysing its components (hazard, vulnerability, and exposure);
- examine innovative techniques and sustainable solutions for mitigating the impact of natural hazards on coastal areas, with particular focus on regions beneath rocky cliffs and at river mouths;
- learn about the impacts of climate change on low and high coasts and identify adaptation strategies;
- gain knowledge of sustainable green coastal defence projects.
