Specific Objectives

Understanding a swell climate. Construct a time series of tides. Define the characteristics of the waves at any point on the coast. Assessment of the wave runup and overtopping

Description of the methods to determine the longshore sedoimemt tranpsort, one of the main processes responsible erosion. Description of the methods to determine the cross-shore sedoimemt tranpsort, one of the main processes responsible erosion.

Specific Objectives

Use of the CERC and Kamphuis formulas to calculate the longshore sediment transport Understand the changes induced by the cross-shore sediment transport at diferent time scales.

Dedication

With examples from the Catalan coast, breakwater linings, their impacts on the coast and aspects related to design and construction are shown, The impacts of groines and detached breakwaters are shown with examples of the Catalan coast, Descrition of beach nourishment, the necessary parameters for its design and construction aspects. Examples of such type of work in the Catalan coast are shown.
