Coastal Hazards and Geologic Assessment: Erosion and Tsunami Risks

This exam addresses the theoretical concepts related to coastal hazards, specifically focusing on coastal erosion processes and tsunami generation. Students will evaluate the methodologies employed in assessing these geologic hazards.

Coastal areas are typically at high risk for both erosion and tsunami impacts, making an understanding of these hazards critical for effective coastal management and disaster preparedness strategies.

The exam will evaluate candidates' ability to verbalize knowledge regarding coastal geomorphology, erosion dynamics, and tsunami risk assessment. Mastery of these topics is essential for future professionals in geologic hazard assessment.

Students should be prepared to discuss mitigation strategies and case studies involving coastal erosion and tsunamis, which illustrate the real-world implications of their theoretical studies.
