Physical Geography Course
This course equips geography and geology professionals with skills to study river basins comprehensively, from climate and landforms to floods and groundwater. Learners will analyse hazards like erosion and flooding, interpret data for risk mapping, and develop mitigation plans for sustainable land use and safer communities in temperate regions.

What will I learn?
Gain a practical overview of temperate river basins, covering climate, geology, soils, landforms, hydrology, groundwater, floods, and slope processes. Analyse drainage networks, sediment budgets, erosion, and mass movements, then connect these to land use planning, risk assessment, and basin-scale strategies using real data.
