Description

The objective of this BI is to establish a partnership between NTNU and bO, to transfer knowledge of the oceanic wave modeling tool REEF3D::FNPF, developed by NTNU, both at a usage and technical level, and apply it to a Portuguese case study at the World Surfing Reserve of Ericeira.

Coastal structures, both natural and artificial, are exposed to several oceanic effects, such as waves, that have the natural tendency of eroding them. In one hand, it is known that climate change is potentiating this erosion at a much faster pace. But, for the specific case of the World Surfing Reserve of Ericeira
