How will I learn?
This course includes four modules conducted via online live sessions by our qualified trainer. You will learn through a combination of instructor-led lectures, demonstration videos and quizzes, hands-on exercises and reading materials.
Throughout the course, you will have ample time to discuss tips & tricks, best practices and examples with your instructor and fellow participants.
A major part of the online sessions is allocated to group work, which is based on home assignments set by your trainer. For maximum benefits, you are strongly advised to allocate a minimum of two hours of self-study for each of the five modules. There will be no homework for the one-hour online introduction to the structure and methodology of the course.
Modules
This online course is divided into five sessions, a 1-hour introductory session and four 2-hour training sessions.
Introduction to course structure and methodology
Topics: Course materials and learning methodology, homework requirements, deadlines, introduction to Zoom meeting software
Module 1 | Introduction to Shoreline Management
Topics: Introduction to Shoreline Impact Assessment, overview of human projects interfering with the dynamic coastal zone, coastal processes and classification
Module 2 | Protecting our coast with coastal landscaping
Topics: Shoreline erosion and coastal flooding, shore and coast protection schemes, beach restoration, introduction to numerical modelling tools in coastal modelling
Module 3 | Waterfront developments
Topics: Waterfronts in the natural environment, design of artificial beaches, impacts from ports and water intakes/outfalls, optimisation of port layouts towards reduced harbour sedimentation and reduced shoreline impacts
Module 4 | Planning for climate change
Topics: Climate changes and the coastal zone, coastal vulnerability, resilience and adaptation, impacts on shorelines from existing structures, risk levels and planning
