From participants in the Coastal Resilience Short Course, including the AI session in Level II.
The most rewarding part was engaging with the other participants. I came away understanding coastal hazards from perspectives beyond my own, and seeing the range of solutions to erosion and inundation being applied across Australia.
I brought my own case to the AI session and built an agent to manage my email. I have been using it ever since, and I am now looking at whether AI can help with a coastal problem too.
A really worthwhile course. Working through coastal resilience in a practical way, alongside people from right across the coastal space, gave me perspectives I had not had before. I have already found myself drawing on those discussions in my own work.
We were deeply impressed by this comprehensive and practical course. It provided essential knowledge that we hope to implement in our national forecasting strategies. Thank you for your valuable guidance and support.
A highly useful introduction to coastal processes and the options for erosion mitigation. Experienced professionals and real case studies made the basics of coastline management clear. I would strongly recommend it to anyone building their knowledge of how the coastal sector works in practice.
An incredibly rewarding experience. The course gave me valuable knowledge, meaningful connections and a fresh perspective that I will carry forward in my work and beyond. If you have the opportunity, I would absolutely encourage you to do it.
The AI session was particularly interesting and beneficial. I had not realised how many applications AI could have, or its potential for both administrative and complex tasks. I am now using it in everyday work and in drone mapping.
