    Description
    This course explores the dynamics of the coastal ocean environment, the array of geomorphic processes, and the range of landforms found on the ocean's edge, as well as offshore. Topics include the work of waves and tides and resultant changes to coastal features, types of beach Geology 441 materials, storm impacts, and coastal responses to climate change. Coastal impacts on humans and human impacts on coasts are also examined including engineering solutions to coastal hazards. Field trips are required. A field trip expense fee may be required to cover camping fees, lodging, or other incidentals. The instructor should be contacted for details prior to the first meeting.
