Introduction to the course Presentation of the key concepts related to coastal risk. Definitions Individual and collective assessment of the main types of coastal risks

Specific Objectives

Course structure. Sources of information and data. Practical work. Presentation and definition of the key concepts related to coastal risk analysis. Identification and initial assessment of the importance of the main types of coastal risks by the students of the class. Assessment of the initial perception of risk in general, and of the Catalan coast in particular.

Dedication

Identification of the factors that determine coastal erosion at different scales. Using the SPRC analysis framework Medium and long term erosion Quantification of coastal erosion during storms Geomorphological vulnerability and resilience. Assessment of consequences Evaluation of the coastal risk of erosion in a coastal stretch

Specific Objectives

Introduce the key drivers and processes governing coastal erosion across different spatial and temporal scales, along with methods for their evaluation.

Dedication

Coastal flooding during storms Long-term flooding. The effect of sea level rise Compound flooding Vulnerability and consequences. Flood modeling Flood risk analysis in a coastal stretch

Dedication

The Coastal Risk Assessment Framework (CRAF) Risk estimation using CRAF in a stretch of real coast Risk prediction using nested models Forecast system for the impact of storms

Specific Objectives

Introduction to large-scale systems for coastal risk prediction and assessment, with applications in spatial planning and the development of forecasting frameworks.
