Learning Outcomes
After completing the course, the student will have knowledge on the basic coastal and marine applications (coastal works, cables and pipelines, mineral deposits, marine renewables etc) together with the necessary surveys and studies needed for their safe construction. The usage of marine geophysical prospecting in various environmental applications, such as the study of marine biological resources and habitats, is also presented.
