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 movement, then connect these to land use, risk mapping, and basin-scale planning, monitoring, and mitigation using real-world data.
Elevify advantages
