What will I learn?
Gain a practical overview of temperate river basins covering climate, geology, soils, landforms, hydrology, groundwater, floods, and slope processes. Analyze drainage networks, sediment budgets, erosion, mass movement, and connect them to land use, risk mapping, and basin-scale planning, monitoring, and mitigation using real data.
