The course will give guidance on analysis and/or prediction of wave overtopping for flood defences attacked by wave action. The EurOtop manual has been intended to assist coastal engineers analyse overtopping performance of most types of sea defence found in UK and around Europe. Methods and guidance described may also be helpful to designers or operators of breakwaters, reclamations, or shoreline structures in lakes or reservoirs.

At the end of the course participants will:

• Be familiar with the most recent guidance on wave overtopping.
• Have hands-on experience of key input parameters, application of prediction tools, and understand the levels of confidence that can be ascribed to such predictions.
• Understand the significance of different sources of guidance, including recent research results.
• Be able to devise alternative solutions to wave overtopping problems with confidence by understanding the overtopping process and direct experience of the main prediction methods.
