SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS<\/strong><\/p>

Scientific interests mainly concern maritime hydraulics and coastal engineering, with particular reference to seabed hydro-morphodynamics under sea waves, wave\u2013current interaction, the effects of wave motion on coastal structures, and the potential for wave energy extraction. Research has also addressed the development of innovative instruments for measuring shear stresses in marine environments and the use of neural networks for wave prediction. More recently, research has focused on the transport of plastics and microplastics in coastal environments and on the propagation of oil spills in harbor basins.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":2480,"template":"elementor_header_footer","class_list":["post-3382","lo_staff","type-lo_staff","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","entry"],"yoast_head":"\nCarla FARACI - Coastal Engineering<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/portale2.unime.it\/coastalengineering\/en\/lo_staff\/carla-faraci-eng\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"it_IT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Carla FARACI - Coastal Engineering\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"PROFESSOR CARLA FARACI carla.faraci@unime.it 0906765165 EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS Degree in Civil Engineering (110\/110 summa cum laude), University of Catania, 1998.
