  1. About the Codebook
  2. Introduction

Introduction

The Coastal Codebook consists of a series of jupyter notebooks, supplementing the Coastal Dynamics Open Textbook. The interactive exercises of the Coastal Codebook are meant to be used alongside the Coastal Textbook and aim to enhance your understanding of the textbook material. We therefore advise to work on these notebooks while studying the Coastal Textbook. A list of the topics per notebook is found in the notebook overview

MSc course Coastal and Estuarine Systems

At TU Delft, The Coastal Textbook and Coastal Codebook supplement the MSc course Coastal and Estuarine Systems (CIEM3110-U1). This course discusses the interrelation between physical wave, flow, and sediment transport phenomena and the resulting morphodynamics of a wide variety of coastal systems. The objective is to provide insights into the phenomenological and theoretical as well as applied aspects for civil engineering MSc students.

For those interested in the set-up of this course, please have a look at the course structure.

We also provide our TU Delft students with weekly quizzes. Soon, this Coastal Quizbook will also be launched as open education tool.

TU Delft students

We recommend to work on the notebooks during your weekly self-study time. We will also try to connect to the notebooks in the lectures of the course. During the Friday tutorials, which are guided by the teaching assistants, you can continue to work on the notebooks. So make sure you bring your questions about the notebooks (and any other content-related questions) to the tutorials.
