OVERVIEW

The course will be developed on three main areas: Hydraulic Maritime and Coastal Engineering, Marine Pollution and Marine ecosystem monitoring. In particular, they will address the following themes: prediction wave, action on the coasts, numerical models of simulation and forecasting, numerical models for the wave action on the morphology of the coast, wave river mouths interaction, analysis of the formation of coastal currents and their action on the coasts. 

The pollutant transport phenomena, numerical models for the transport of passive and chemically active substances in the coastal environment. The effects on the ecosystem as a result of input of pollutants, the creation of coastal works, fluvial-marine system interactions, modeling and simulation of the dynamics of these ecosystems, interaction between coastal and ecosystem dynamics currents.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student at the end of the course will be able to analyze the sea wave data and using a Geographical Information System (QGIS or other cartography information system) to define the principal physical phenomes that can be involved in the propagation of sea state from deep water to shallow water. The principal rules and models to describe these phenomes are described in detail.

The arguments analyzed are strictly correlated to the Sustainable Developments Goals of Agenda 2030

EXAM DESCRIPTION

See the specifi indications of the two modules of the course

For the students with learning disorders (in italian DSA) will be allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined case-by-case in agreement with the delegate of the engineerinfg courses in the Commitee fot the inclusion of students with disabilities.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The lesson will be done using power point presentations. The material showed during each lesson will be present also in “AulaWEB “of the course,

During the course different moments will be introduced to evaluate the comprehension using Wooclap test or similar procedure.

It is requested to produce some technical relations that will be discussed in the classroom to increase the communication and critical skills of the students.
