Il corso fornisce le conoscenze fondamentali sui processi che controllano la morfodinamica della zona costiera. Partendo dall'analisi e dalla descrizione di questi processi, gli studenti impareranno come affrontare l'evoluzione morfodinamica di una cellula litoranea e come analizzare i possibili effetti di opere e strutture costiere sul regime del litorale. Infine, vengono analizzate le opere costiere e le possibili soluzioni naturali (NBS) nel quadro della gestione delle zone costiere a lungo termine.
The teaching aims to provide the basic knowledge for a general framework of problems related to:
- Mete-ocean climate analysis for the identification of the environmental characteristics of the project
- Characteristics of nearshore circulation
- Coastal Morphology
- Sediment Transport
- Coastal Morphodynamics
- Coastal Defence Works
The course will be held mainly through frontal lessons with the help of slides.
There will be some practical lessons with the use of computers for the development of specific algorithms for the quantification of coastal processes
Introduction to wave dynamics and statistics
Introduction to nearshore circulation
Sediment characteristics, Coastal Morphology, Longshore and Cross-shore profiles
Sediment Transport, Incipient motion, Bed Load Transport, Suspended Load Transport
Coastal Morphodynamics, Longshore profile evolution, Cross-shore profile evolution, Numerical models for coastline evolution
Coastal structures, soft and hard solutions, nourishment, groins, submerged breakwaters, breakwaters, revetments
Ricevimento: By appointment by prior phone or email arrangement with the lecturer

The examination test consists in the drafting of a series of exercises proposed during the year and in an oral test.
The evaluation of the students' preparation is carried out through the correction of the exercises delivered during the course. Students who wish to change their assessment can take an oral interview about the entire course program.
The oral test can be taken from the first day after the end of the lessons.
