It also explores the ways in which understandings of these processes informs effective management of our environment. Core topics will include ocean waves, coastal and catchment sediments, integrated catchment management, river mouths and coastal inlets, theoretical and numerical models of shoreline evolution, artificial and urban coasts, and tropical reefs. Examples will be drawn from New Zealand, the Pacific, and worldwide.
