Physical Geography Course
This course equips geography and geology professionals with essential tools to examine temperate river basins comprehensively. Delve into climate influences, geological structures, soil properties, landforms, hydrological cycles, groundwater dynamics, flood patterns, and slope processes. Develop skills to dissect drainage networks, calculate sediment budgets, evaluate erosion rates, and assess mass movement risks. Apply these insights to land use strategies, create precise risk maps, and design effective basin-scale planning, monitoring, and mitigation approaches grounded in real-world data for safer communities.
