The curriculum in Engineering for Marine and Coastal Environments (EMaCEs) takes as its starting point the different scientific expertise developed by the departmental academic staff in the fields of Environmental, Chemical and Structural Engineering.
This specificity makes the curriculum highly multidisciplinary and with a significant rate of innovation thanks to possibile cross-feritilization among the different research areas.
The main research themes and topics in the curriculum are:
- Ocean and Atmosphere Dynamics
- Wave Dynamics
- Mixing Processes in the Sea
- Climate Change related to Ocean Characteristics
- Marine Litter and Microplastic Fate in the Sea
- Bio-chemical Resources of the Sea
- Environmental Reliability, Safety and Risk Management
- Emission Treatment Technologies for Environmental Protection in Marine and Coastal Areas
- Coastal and Harbour Engineering
- Nearshore Hydro- and Morpho-Dynamics
- Fundamentals of Sediment Transport
- Marine Composites and Advanced Materials
- Structural Mechanics in Marine Environments
The educational objectives of the program are accomplished through a committee with specific expertise in the areas of study of the program in a highly stimulating scientific environment.
The Coordinator of the Curriculum is Professor Giovanni Besio
