What will I learn?
This Physical Geography Course gives you a solid, applied overview of temperate river basins, from climate, geology, soils, and landforms to hydrology, groundwater, floods, and slope processes. Learn to analyze drainage networks, sediment budgets, erosion, and mass movement, then link these dynamics to land use, risk mapping, and practical, basin-scale planning, monitoring, and mitigation strategies using real-world data.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- River morphodynamics: classify channels and link form to sediment and flood behavior.
- Flood and erosion risk: build spatial risk maps for towns, farms, and infrastructure.
- Basin diagnostics: analyze 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.
