Purpose of lecture
Coastal disasters due to such as tsunamis, storm surges, and high waves lead to considerable loss of human life and property. The threat from coastal disasters may exacerbate because of the impact of climate change and economic development that accelerate rapid population increase in coastal areas. This course comprises lectures on basic theories, engineering, and management for mitigating such risks caused by coastal disasters.
