Browse Hierarchy GEG6228: Future Coasts

This module features a residential fieldtrip to the delta cities (e.g. Rotterdam) and coasts of NW Europe which are highly populated, low-lying and at risk from sea level rise, storm surges and flooding. It will introduce students to coastal threats associated with climate change and develop understanding of key coastal processes. Restoration and management schemes will be explored to understand how cities and coasts can adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts. Students are required to pay for the cost of the fieldtrip (a subsidy may be available).
