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 monitoring using real data.
