Physical Geography Course
Master river basins from source to sea in this Physical Geography Course. It equips geography and geology professionals with tools to analyse floods, erosion, groundwater, and land use, transforming geomorphic insights into practical risk assessment and planning decisions for real-world applications.

What will I learn?
This Physical Geography Course provides a solid, practical overview of temperate river basins, covering climate, geology, soils, landforms, hydrology, groundwater, floods, and slope processes. You will learn to analyse drainage networks, sediment budgets, erosion, and mass movement, then connect these to land use, risk mapping, and basin-scale planning, monitoring, and mitigation using real-world data.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- River morphodynamics: classify channels and link form to sediment and flood behaviour.
- Flood and erosion risk: build spatial risk maps for towns, farms, and infrastructure.
- Basin diagnostics: analyse climate, geology, soils, and land use to explain hazards.
- Groundwater and floods: interpret flow data to assess recharge, storage, and peak flows.
- Mitigation design: propose nature-based and engineered measures for safer river basins.
