What this paper is about
This paper examines the measurement prediction of coastal processes for management and research. It will provide a deeper understanding of some of the key physical processes in the coastal zone and how these processes relate to management issues. The understanding of theory is enriched with local examples, and active regional research.
The paper will be split into two modules:
Module 1: Monitoring and prediction for coastal management
Module 2: Measurement and prediction of processes in the coastal ocean
How this paper will be taught
The paper consists of an introductory lecture and then two modules covering different aspects of coastal oceanography. Modules may involve a combination of formal lectures, computer exercises, laboratory exercises, data analysis, reading and summarising relevant literature, and student presentations.

Assessments
How you will be assessed
The internal assessment is intended to develop the ability to synthesise published material (journal articles, textbooks and reports), and/or results from analysis of laboratory and field data, into succinct summaries of the salient points in the form oral presentations and short reports.
Presentations will be assessed on the presentation to the class and the materials used, which may involve submitting a copy any visual aids (eg. Powerpoint file) and an abstract or summary with references. Student presentations will not be recorded.
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 60:40. The final exam makes up 40% of the overall mark.
