Coastal and harbour engineering-General theory aims at providing the necessary knowledges and competences to plan and design sustainable maritime structures and measures for the protection of the coast and of the ports.
The course aims at consolidating an advanced knowledge of dynamic oceanography and coastal morphodynamics, in order to study the wave and current interaction with maritime structures and with the coast. Advanced mathematical and numerical models will be developed and applied for the design of the structures and for the study of the coastal environment evolution at both short and long term. Also physical models and statistical tools based on machine learning techniques are introduced and applied for a sustainable design of coastal and harbour engineering works.
