Learning Objectives
Through a training curriculum that introduces the study of landforms and related continental deposits addressed to environmental analyses, this module aims to teach students to analyze, interpret and process geomorphological and Quaternary continental deposits maps.
Program
References to the basic geomorphological concepts.
Introduction to the study of Quaternary continental deposits
Crustal mobility, climate variability, human impact and morphogenetic processes: indicators and interrelationships.
Slope, fluvial and coastal geomorphological systems.
Mapping of landforms and Quaternary continental deposits.
Bridging Courses
Geomorphology
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
The student:
-must know the principles of field-surveying, mapping and correlating landforms and Quaternary continental deposits
-must be able to properly identify and map landforms and continental deposits through field work and remote sensing
-will acquire an autonomous capacity to elaborate thematic maps of Quaternary continental deposits and geomorphological maps
Teaching Material
The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it
