What will I learn?
Gain mastery in essential wave mechanics and evaluate coastal conditions confidently. Cover linear and nonlinear theories, dispersion, energy, shoaling, refraction, breaking, then apply to storm waves, swell, harbour responses, and sandbar influences. Develop fast hand calculations, data validation, and tools to express uncertainty for better wave assessments.
