What will I learn?
Gain practical expertise in external geodynamics to analyse weathering, erosion, sediment transport, and reservoir sedimentation in small basins. Utilise DEMs, satellite imagery, climate data, and basic models to identify sources, pathways, and sinks; set up affordable monitoring systems; and develop mitigation approaches for better sediment control and enduring water facilities.
