What will I learn?
Gain mastery in essential wave mechanics and evaluate coastal conditions confidently. Explore linear and nonlinear theories, dispersion, energy, shoaling, refraction, breaking, then use them for storm waves, swell, harbor effects, and sandbars. Develop fast hand calculations, data validation, and tools to express uncertainty in wave assessments.
