For each of the eight weeks of the course, there are one or multiple notebooks available.
Topics per notebook¶
| Name | Topic |
|---|---|
| 1a_tectonic_classification | on tectonic classification of coasts |
| 1b_process-based_classification | on process-based classification of coast |
| 2a_pre_knowledge_waves | to test your knowledge on the dispersion relationship, not needed if you master your Waves course material |
| 2b_wave_dispersion_and_grouping | practice a bit more with wave dispersion and study wave grouping (largely known from Waves, repeated in this week’s lectures) |
| 2c_generation_tide | a review of the origin of the tide (differential pull of the sun and moon) as discussed in this week’s reading material and lectures, handy if you find this a difficult topic |
| 2d_tidal_constituents | to get to know the tide, tidal propagation and tidal constituents |
| 3a_tidal_environments | discover the four different tidal environments |
| 3b_wave_asymmetry_and_skewness | recreate the figures in the book about skewed and asymmetric waves |
| 3c_radiation_stresses_and_wave_forces | cross-shore distribution of cross-shore and alongshore wave forces |
| 4a_bound_long_wave | understand the generation mechanism of the bound long wave |
| 4b_shallow_water_tides | discover overtides and compound tides in shallow water and learn about tidal analysis and prediction |
| 5_coastal_classification_and_beach_states | on process-based classification and beach states for Brazilian beaches |
| 6_cross_shore_transport | on cross-shore sediment transport using velocity moments and shape functions |
| 7_alongshore_transport | on alongshore sediment transport featuring the CERC formula, -curves and coastline modeling |
| 8a_escoffier_curve | learn about inlet stability with the aid of the Escoffier curve |
| 8b_kreeke_robaczewska | investigate tide-induced residual sediment transport following Van de Kreeke and Robaczewska |
| 8c_equilibrium_concentration | get to know the difference between the equilibrium and lagged response of suspended sediment |
| 8d_interventions | explore various interventions and (human-induced) changes in tidal inlet/basin systems |
