In this Geography/Environmental Science session, Larissa Naylor, Professor of Geomorphology and Environmental Geography in the School of Geographical & Earth Sciences at University of Glasgow, will run an interactive talk for students on Coastal dynamics and climate change: exploring risks to both low and high energy coastal systems.
This session will provide an introduction to coastal climate change hazards, and explore differences in risks between low and high energy coastal settings. You will gain an appreciation of some of the growing coastal climate change challenges we face as sea level continues to rise and strategies for responding to this.
The session is designed to support students’ current studies whilst offering an insight into university study.
