Climate and Coasts is an interdisciplinary course that explores the dynamic relationship between climate change and coastal environments. Students will gain an understanding of the complex interactions of climate and coastal regions, emphasizing the processes shaping coastlines and the ways in which climate change influence coastal ecosystems, communities, and economies. The course will cover a range of topics, including types of coastal environments, sea-level rise, coastal flooding and erosion, storms, and coastal ecosystem resilience. Students will also gain an appreciation for the relationship between humans and coastlines, including strategies for sustainable coastal management in the face of climate change. This course includes a field trip to the New Jersey coast.
