Coastal Modelling 101 - Oceans, Coasts and Estuaries

Dive into the world of coastal modelling with this comprehensive 58-minute webinar presented by Mitchell Smith, Associate Principal Engineer at BMT and TUFLOW software development lead. Explore the differences between coastal and flood modelling, tackle hydrodynamic modelling challenges, and gain insights into astronomical tides, climate and weather impacts on oceans, and spectral wave modelling. Learn about common coastal engineering applications, including the modelling of tidal currents, estuaries, storm tides, and ocean-scale circulations. Benefit from expert Q&A sessions and access additional resources on sediment transport modelling, coastal wikis, tidal planes, global ocean tides, and specialized software tools to enhance your understanding of coastal dynamics and engineering practices.
