Sea Level Rise and Coastal Management
Understanding changes in sea level is of the utmost importance, as it: (1) shapes the coastlines; (2) affects the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people living in the world’s coastal regions, and (3) is a key indicator of climate change. Sea-level rise is one of the most certain implications of climate change, and one of the biggest challenges we face. It will cause significant and costly impacts on our coasts in the 21st century and beyond.
In this course, we will examine why understanding sea-level change is important and how we measure it. We will then examine the key processes controlling sea-level variability and extremes, including mean sea level, astronomical tides, storm surges, waves, and extreme events. The course will also introduce numerical modelling approaches for simulating coastal processes and assessing coastal responses to sea-level change and extreme events. We will discuss coastal engineering and management strategies to address sea-level changes. -

Sea Level Rise and Coastal Management
Understanding changes in sea level is of the utmost importance, as it: (1) shapes the coastlines; (2) affects the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people living in the world’s coastal regions, and (3) is a key indicator of climate change. Sea-level rise is one of the most certain implications of climate change, and one of the biggest challenges we face. It will cause significant and costly impacts on our coasts in the 21st century and beyond.
In this course we will look at why understanding of sea level change is important and how we messure sea level. We will then examine the three drivers of sea level change, e.g., (i) mean sea level; (ii) astronomical tides; and (iii) storm surges, waves and extremes. We will look at how changes in sea level shape the coast (morphological processes). We will discuss coastal engineering and management strategies for dealing with sea level changes. -

Seafloor Exploration and Surveying
This module provides you with skills that are scientifically fascinating as well as important for employability. The offshore industry is crying-out for graduates that understand seafloor surveying. In the past few years many OES students have gone on to careers in the field based on skills and experience from this module. -

Seafloor Exploration and Surveying 2
In this module students work through many of the data analysis and interpretation steps to evaluate plans for an offshore windfarm, using an example site in the east Solent.
With the University of Southampton’s unique access to its own research vessel the RV Callista, students get the opportunity to take part in an offshore hydrographic and geophysical survey. Using industry standard software packages such as ArcGIS Pro, Caris HIPS, Petrel, and SonarWiz, students will analyse dynamic processes on the seabed, and build a 3D ground model of the subsurface, to characterise the site.
As a result, students will be equipped with the skills directly relevant to the Hydrographic and Geophysical surveying industries. There will likely be opportunities to attend talks and network with industry partners during the duration of the course, who have employed previous students as a direct result of the experience gained during this module. -
