Coastal zone geomorphological interactions: natural vs human-induced factors
The virtual component program will include an introduction to the theoretical background on coastal zone processes, landforms and evolution and a virtual fieldtrip to Naxos Island, where the physical mobility will take place. Overall, the virtual component program will take place as follows: a) Students will study material available from the open eclass and a mini quiz will take place after that, b) Online presentation will take place in the form of a guided virtual fieldtrip on Naxos Island, followed byan online quiz/test, c) Students will study a story map for Naxos Island, followed by an online quiz/test Experience field activities on various geomorphological risks in the coastal zone and be trained in various methods and techniques on coastal geomorphology and coastal hazards

Physical Part Description
The BIP “Coastal zone geomorphological interactions: natural vs human-induced factors” will be hosted by the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. The physical activities of the BIP will be field based, training students on various geomorphological risks in coastal zone and various methods and techniques on coastal geomorphology and coastal hazards such as storm flood and erosion, beach morphodynamics, coastal engineering including Nature based solutions, wave processes, palaeotsunamis, relative sea level changes, coastal erosion, climate change and adaptation.
