Physical Geography Course
This course equips geography and geology professionals with essential tools to study river basins comprehensively. Explore climate influences, geological features, soil dynamics, landforms, hydrology, groundwater systems, flooding events, and slope stability processes. Develop skills to evaluate drainage patterns, sediment transport, erosion rates, and mass wasting, then apply this knowledge to land management, hazard mapping, strategic planning, ongoing surveillance, and effective mitigation tactics with authentic data sources.

What will I learn?
Gain a comprehensive overview of temperate river basins, covering climate, geology, soils, landforms, hydrology, groundwater, floods, and slope processes. Analyze drainage networks, sediment budgets, erosion, and mass movements, and connect these to land use planning, risk assessment, monitoring, and mitigation using real-world examples.
