Tim Bralower, Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus; Brent Yarnal, Pennsylvania State Univ-Penn St. Erie-Behrend Coll
This course provides a global perspective of coastal landscapes, the processes responsible for their formation, diversity, and change through time, as well as societal responses to changes in the coastal zones of the planet. Active learning elements include analyzing real data sets and applying critical thinking and problem-solving skills to real-world coastal issues that affect human populations. Students must complete a capstone project in which they consider a real-world coastal issue from a list of approved cities.

Sean Cornell: Using Coastal Processes, Hazards and Society at Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania
Sean Cornell, Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania
This course is composed of four units and 12 modules. It provides a global perspective of coastal landscapes, the processes responsible for their formation, diversity, and change through time, as well as societal responses to changes in the coastal zones of the planet. Active learning elements include analyzing real data sets (e.g. beach geomorphology measurements, tide gauge data, tsunami propagation data, etc.) and applying critical thinking and problem-solving skills to real-world coastal issues that affect diverse groups of human populations based on a range of demographic parameters. Students must complete a capstone project in which they consider a real world coastal issue from a list of approved cities.
