Griffith University Coastal Resilience Short Courses 2021
Marcello Sano
Dear colleagues:
It is a pleasure to announce that the Griffith University Coastal Resilience Short Courses will go ahead in 2021 as planned, in person. This year’s Courses include an option to attend online, for those unable to travel to the course from overseas or other parts of Australia.
This is the Ninth Edition of the Courses, which have been attended, over the years, by more than 300 professionals from the private and public sectors and postgraduate and undergraduate students from all Australian states, and other parts of the world, such as the Pacific, South East Asia, the Middle East and South America.
Brought to you by the newly formed Coastal and Marine Research Centre, the course covers coastal resilience management theory and practices relevant to Australia and other parts of the world, including coastal processes and modelling, planning and engineering in coastal areas, ecosystems conservation and management, socio-economic issues, policies and governance, stakeholder engagement and project design.
From 2021, this course will be eligible for a Griffith Credentials Digital Badge, which visually represent your achievements and allow you to easily manage, verify and share them online (e.g. Linkedin). Digital badges provide employers concrete evidence of what you had to do to earn them and what you’re now capable of.
The course is structured in two levels:
COASTAL HAZARD MANAGEMENT SHORT COURSE LEVEL I: FOUNDATIONS, GOLD COAST
A two-day course held at the Gold Coast, including a study tour (various Gold Coast locations).
This is a foundations program, covering the fundamental knowledge needed for local and state and other government officers, NGO and the private sector to expand their management portfolio in the coastal domain;
WHEN: Wednesday 5 May to Friday 7 May 2021
WHERE: Griffith University, Gold Coast campus (5 & 7 May). Study Tour; Gold Coast (6 May)
For more information, refer to the draft Level I Course program.
COASTAL HAZARD MANAGEMENT SHORT COURSE LEVEL II: ADVANCED APPLICATIONS, BYRON BAY
A two-day course based in Byron Bay, including a study tour of the Tweed-Byron Coast (various locations).
This is an advanced applications program, directed to alumni of the coastal hazard management short course (2013-2018) and to more experienced coastal practitioners.
WHEN: Monday 10 May to Wednesday 12 May 2019
WHERE: Byron Bay Surf Lifesaving Club (10 & 12 May). Study Tour; Tweed-Byron Coast (11 May)
For more information, refer to the draft Level II Course program.
FINAL EXAM: A final online test will be designed to issue Griffith Credentials Digital Badges for both in person and online attendees.
NOTE: Given the topic and the opportunity to meet other participants and see real world case studies, students are encouraged to attend in person. The online version of the course will not include the interactive sessions in class and the field trips.
The course is supported and delivered in partnership with Alluvium Consulting, one of the leading firms in water, rivers and coastal planning and engineering in Australia.
The course will follow
Griffith University COVID-19 Safety measures, reflecting government advice and requirements.
I really hope to see you on the Gold Coast and/or Byron Bay in May 2021!
