This module will introduce students to the origin and propagation of flood and erosion risks in coastal areas. The different common coastal typologies in European coasts will be considered with emphasis on low coastal areas that present a higher risk of flooding and erosion. Analytical formulations for a first estimation of erosion and flooding will be analyzed, depending on characteristic wave parameters such as superelevation, irregularity or wave types. In the same way, the different variations of sea level will be considered, presenting, in an integrative way, the meteorological tide, the astronomical tide and the elevation due to wave breaking (SET UP). The capabilities of the usual models to simulate and analyze erosion and inundation will also be presented and discussed.

The capabilities of the usual models to simulate and analyze erosion and inundation will also be presented and discussed. This module will present the main coastal structures, both rigid and green engineered, that contribute to risk in the coastal zone. Emphasis will be placed on the time scale associated with the calculation of this risk and what is the best scale to evaluate the efficiency of the coastal structures presented.

Specific Objectives

To familiarize the student with the concepts of long waves both parallel and perpendicular to the shore in shallow areas. To critically compare erosional and active processes so that the student is aware of their different intensity and time scale and how each type of process conditions coastal risks.
