MSCI 7728 - Coastal Processes

Credits: 3
Changes in the very dynamic coastal environment are best understood by evaluating the major physical processes that control coastal configuration, including tides and currents, storm impacts, sea level change, sediment transport, barrier island and delta formation, and river input. In addition, organism impacts on the coastal environment will also be evaluated (marsh vegetation, dune vegetation, human alterations, estuarine nurseries).

Prerequisite(s): MSCI 5201, MSCI 5202
