Course description
This course will provide general knowledge of river morphology and the formation of the channels. The relevant processes for the management of beaches and the marine environment will also be shown, as well as management strategies at different time scales with a comprehensive perspective. Thus, a description will be made of the rivers, their composition and morphology from high mountains to deltaic bodies. Emphasis will be placed on regime theory, sediment stability, Shields theory, flow resistance, etc. On the other hand, the coastal landscape will be shown showing the typology of coasts, urban planning of the coast in Spain, climate change and the coast. The main drivers of marine dynamics will be shown: wind, waves, tides and marine currents, as well as the dispersion of pollutants in coastal areas and estuaries and coastal sedimentary dynamics.
