Short course 3: Coastal risk and adaptation
Presented by IHE Delft
Instructors: Ali Dastgheib, Dano Roelvink, William Veerbeek
Length: Half day
In this half-day course participants will be introduced to the latest definition of risk by IPCC, explore different components of risk and identify the main drivers of increasing risk in coastal zones. Participants will be introduced to methodologies for developing scenarios for changes in drivers of risk in longer term including the effect of climate change and the modelling approaches to determine the magnitude of different coastal hazards. Finally they will learn how to perform different levels of risk assessment, and develop strategies to adapt and reduce the risk.
Price Euro 275, including VAT
With a minimum of 20 participants
Short course 4: XBeach modelling
Presented by Deltares
Instructors: Robert McCall, Ellen Quataert, Floortje Roelvink
Length: Half day
XBeach is an open-source coastal model which can simulate nearshore hydro- and morphodynamic processes on sandy, gravel, coral, vegetated and urbanized coasts under daily and extreme conditions. In this short course an introduction on XBeach will be given through a series of lectures. In these lectures we will cover
- Morphodynamic processes included in the model
- basic theoretical understanding on XBeach capabilities and functionalities;
- latest developments in XBeach including advance peek into the new “Home Edition” release.
- Tips & tricks from experienced modellers to set-up a XBeach model, change model settings and visualize results using an example XBeach model.
Note that this course is not a XBeach training with hands-on exercises. An example XBeach model will be shared with the participants, that will be used by the participants during the course.
Price Euro 275, including VAT
With a minimum of 20 participants
