"Morphodynamics of tidal systems"@en . . "7.50" . "After the course, the student:\nWill understand the basic hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes caused by tides.\nWill be able to develop and use models to analyse tidal time series and to predict the hydrodynamics,sediment transport and morphological change in tidal systems.\nIs able to critically read scientific literature and to position detailed research results in the broader picture of coastal research.\nWill be able to apply his knowledge in coastal research and consultancy.\nWill be able to to present and discuss results in written reports and oral presentations.\nContent\nThis course is the second course in a series of three (period 1: River and Delta systems, period 3: Morphodynamics of wave-dominated coasts) . Other courses in the MSc that focus on delta and coastal systems are Coastal Ecology and Managing Future Deltas.\n During this course the dynamics of tidal systems will be studied at all relevant time scales (few hours to millennia) and spatial scales (kilometers to global scale). We will follow the pathway of the tidal wave from its generation in the ocean to the dissipation of tidal energy in the shallowest regions of tidal basins and estuaries. Along its paths, tidal waves induce current that transport sediment and cause morphological change. Main topics of the course are:\nGeneration of tides by the gravitational interaction of earth, moon and sun.\nTidal dynamics of shallow shelf seas.Hydrodynamics and morphodynamics of shallow tidal basins.\nTides in estuaries: Effect of geometry on tides, river-tide interactions, estuarine dynamics, fine sediment dynamics and morphological change.\nTime series analysis of water level and flow velocity data.\nEvolution and depositional architecture of tidal systems under sea level rise.\n\nDevelopment of Transferrable Skills\nAbility to work in a team: During the course the students have to work in teams to do computer exercises, write reports and do research.\nWritten and verbal communication skills: Students have to deliver reports. You will get feedback on the content.\nProblem-solving skills: Students have to work on programming exercises and apply it to analyse data sets or model tidal phenomena.\nAnalytical/quantitative skills: Students have to analyze data sets, to apply equations to field cases, and to program Python code.\nTechnical skills: Students will have to program in Python and will learn to use the codes to study tidal phenomena." . .

"The Master’s programme Earth Surface and Water involves the study of natural and human-induced physical and geochemical processes, patterns, and dynamics of the Earth’s continental and coastal systems. The main subject areas you will study during the two-year programme consist of the dynamics of coastal and river systems, (geo-)hydrological processes, groundwater remediation, land degradation in drylands and mountainous regions, natural hazards, and delta evolution on centennial and longer time scales.\n\nFocus on societal problems\nModern society puts increasing pressure on the natural environment. The Earth Surface and Water programme therefore focusses on imminent societal problems, such as society’s increased vulnerability to climate and environmental changes and to natural hazards such as drought, flood, and mass movements. It also addresses the threats and opportunities resulting from human activity on our physical environment, including the hydrological cycle.\n\nCore areas of research\nIn the Earth Surface and Water programme you will study the interactions between the natural and the socio-economic systems using quantitative and spatially explicit methods. It addresses the dynamic patterns and processes of the physical and chemical components on the Earth’s surface, shallow subsurface and the coastal areas. Understanding the historic and current processes will help to predict their responses to global change.\nThe programme contains field observations and laboratory experiments with the latest developments in remote sensing and computational methods.\n\nSome examples of the programme's societal and scientific questions:\nHow do river floods affect delta systems and their inhabitants?\nHow can we use natural processes under climate change to maintain safe - yet attractive and dynamic - coastlines?\nHow to leverage remote sensing for detailed monitoring of natural processes and ecological variables?\nWill we have enough water to sustain the world’s rapidly increasing population in 2050?\nWhat is the most efficient way to clean an oil spill that enters the soil and groundwater?"@en . . . . .
