External Geodynamics Course
This course equips you with practical skills in external geodynamics for managing basins and reservoirs. You will learn to map erosion sources, track sediment pathways and sinks, apply remote sensing like DEMs and satellite imagery, integrate climate data, and develop monitoring networks plus mitigation strategies for better sediment control and sustainable water infrastructure in professional geography and geology roles.

What will I learn?
Gain hands-on tools to study weathering, erosion, sediment transport, and reservoir sedimentation in small basins. Master using DEMs, satellite imagery, climate data, and basic models to identify sources, pathways, and sinks; set up affordable monitoring systems; and assess mitigation options for effective sediment management and lasting water infrastructure.
