External Geodynamics Course
Gain mastery in external geodynamics for effective basin and reservoir management. This course teaches mapping of erosion hotspots, tracking sediment movement, applying remote sensing data, and developing tailored mitigation and monitoring strategies suited for professional roles in geography and geology across Uganda's diverse landscapes.

What will I learn?
This course equips you with practical tools to analyse weathering, erosion, sediment transport, and reservoir sedimentation in small basins. You will learn to utilise DEMs, satellite imagery, climate data, and simple models for mapping sources, pathways, and sinks; design affordable monitoring networks; and assess mitigation strategies that enhance sediment management and promote sustainable water infrastructure in Ugandan contexts.
