Coastal Processes Papers at Tauranga (2023)
Coastal Processes involves identifying and evaluating processes and factors that contribute to the formation and evolution of coastal landforms, which allows for the prediction of future coastal responses to changing climate and human activities.
Coastal Processes is available as a minor.
To complete a minor in Coastal Processes, students must gain 60 points, consisting of EARTH101, EARTH241, EARTH341 and EARTH342.
For a full list of offerings in this subject, including those available in Hamilton and online, see the Catalogue of Papers. Not all qualifications and subjects can be taken in full in Tauranga. See what can be studied in Tauranga.
