Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This lecture covers emerging trends in earth surface dynamics and management for various geomorphic process domains and areas of application. Building on a brief review of geomorphological theories and concepts, current research and emerging trends on the following topics will be presented: tectonics and earthquakes, climate, hydrology and fluvial geomorphology, coastal geomorphology, submarine geomorphology, landslides, periglacial geomorphology, glacial geomorphology, extraterrestrial geomorphology, applied geomorphology, and the Anthropocene. Finally, some key perspectives in emerging trends in earth surface dynamics in reference to management will be explored.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will have gained knowledge of current and emerging research areas related to Earth Surface Dynamics and Management, as well as perspectives for the further development of the subject.

Please note: The language of teaching is English, but some of the assigned readings are in German.
