Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Home Courses Beyond Engineering: Building with Nature Course materials Readings 3.4.2 Reading on Transdisciplinary learning in Complex Coastal Systems

3.4.2 Reading on Transdisciplinary learning in Complex Coastal Systems

Course subject(s) 3. Why Beyond Engineering?

The reading for Topic 1 is the introductory chapter of a book  “Complex Coastal Systems. Transdisciplinary insights from international case studies”.  This chapter has been selected because it introduces the reader to fundamental concepts in the (complex) system sciences, integrated environmental assessment and management, and social-ecological systems. It draws on these fields to explain how transdisciplinary learning can occur when people with different disciplinary backgrounds and life experiences seek to learn with, and from each other, on coastal management.

You can cite the chapter as:
