External Geodynamics Course
Master external geodynamics for practical basin and reservoir management in professional geography and geology. Gain skills to map erosion sources, track sediment pathways and sinks, apply remote sensing with DEMs and satellite imagery, climate data integration, and develop tailored low-cost monitoring plus effective mitigation strategies for sustainable water infrastructure.

What will I learn?
Acquire practical tools in the External Geodynamics Course to analyse weathering, erosion, sediment transport, and reservoir sedimentation within small basins. Utilise DEMs, satellite imagery, climate data, and basic models for mapping sources, pathways, sinks; design affordable monitoring networks; and assess mitigation approaches enhancing sediment control and sustainable water systems.
