Digital Coastal Process Diagram Creation

# data[].attributes.body
Students use their laptops to create detailed diagrams showing coastal processes like longshore drift, erosion, and deposition using digital drawing tools or PowerPoint. They should label key features and explain the processes involved. This helps visualize complex coastal mechanisms.

# data[].attributes.body
Using Google Earth or virtual tours, students explore famous coastal landscapes around the world. They document different coastal features they observe in their exercise books, including headlands, bays, stacks, and arches. Students should identify at least 5 different coastal features and explain how they were formed.

Coastal Protection Strategy Research Project

# data[].attributes.body
Students research different coastal protection methods used around the world. They should create a digital presentation comparing hard and soft engineering approaches, evaluating their effectiveness, costs, and environmental impact. They will present their findings to the class.

# data[].attributes.body
Students create simple animations using PowerPoint or online tools to demonstrate how different types of waves (constructive and destructive) form and affect the coastline. They should include explanations of wave characteristics in their exercise books.

Location of the Holderness Coast

The Holderness Coast is located on the east coast of England. It extends 61km from Flamborough in the north to Spurn Point in the south.

The Holderness Coastline is one of Europe's fastest eroding at an average annual rate of around 2 metres per year. This is around 2 million tonnes of material every year. Approximately 3 miles (5kms) of land has been lost since Roman times including 23 towns/villages. These are shown on the map below.

Geology

Underlying the Holderness Coast is bedrock made up of Cretaceous Chalk. However, in most places, this is covered by glacial till deposited over 18,000 years ago. It is this soft boulder clay that is being rapidly eroded.

There are two main reasons why this area of coast is eroding so rapidly. The first is the result of the strong prevailing winds creating longshore drift that moves material south along the coastline. The second is that the cliffs are made of soft boulder clay which erodes rapidly when saturated.

Holderness Coast Case study

The Holderness Coast is a great case study to use when examining coastal processes and the features associated with them. This is because the area contains 'textbook' examples of coastal erosion and deposition. The exposed chalk of Flamborough provides examples of erosion, features such as caves, arches and stacks. Coastal management at Hornsea and Withernsea are examples of hard engineering solutions to coastal erosion. Erosion at Skipsea illustrates the human impact of erosion in areas where coastlines are not being defended. Mappleton is an excellent case study of an attempt at coastal management which has a negative impact further along the coast.

Spurn Point provides evidence of longshore drift on the Holderness Coast. It is an excellent example of a spit. Around 3% of the material eroded from the Holderness Coast is deposited here each year.

Students create a blog-style entry in their exercise books about a specific coastal location, analyzing the management strategies used there. They should include sketches, data, and evaluate the success of the management approaches.

Using simple online drawing tools, students design their own coastline incorporating various coastal features. They must explain how each feature would form naturally and what processes would be involved in their development.

Students create a news report script about a coastal event (such as cliff collapse or coastal flooding). They should include scientific explanations of the processes involved and interview-style segments with affected stakeholders.

Modelling of a Wave Energy Converter Impact on Coastal Erosion, a Case Study for Palm Beach-Azur, Algeria

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Facing the exhaustion of fossil energy and in the context of sustainable development, strong incentives are pushing for the development of renewable energies. Nuclear energy and fossil fuels like petroleum, coal, and natural gas provide most of the energy produced today. As a result, greenhouse gases are released and climate change becomes irreversible. Furthermore, radioactive waste disposal causes severe radiation pollution in nuclear power. Alternatives such as marine energy are more sustainable and predictable. It has none of the detrimental effects of fossil and nuclear energies and is significant in terms of environmental sustainability by defending the coastline from erosion. Here, we study the Palm Beach-Azur region near Algiers on the Mediterranean Sea. The study aims to use wave energy converters (WEC) to generate clean energy and reduce coastline erosion. The results of this study show that in the presence of wave energy converters, the wave height decreased by 0.3 m, and sediment deposition increased by 0.8 m. Thus, sand deposit prediction demonstrates that the presence of WEC decreases marine erosion and contributes to an accumulation of sediments on the coast. Moreover, this confirms that WECs can serve a dual role of extracting marine energy by converting it into electrical energy and as a defence against marine erosion. Therefore, WECs justify their efficiency both in energy production and economic and environmental profitability due to coastal protection.
