The abundance of data that describes the shape and the physical properties of the Earth's surface provides us with the opportunity to understand the interactions between the solid Earth, the biosphere and the atmosphere. It allows researchers to detect and quantify tectonic, climatic and geomorphic signatures preserved in the landscape.
This course covers the basic theory of geomorphology in preparation for the more applied tectonic geomorphology lecture and field trip in the second half of the semester. It is designed to be taken alongside the digital topography and geomorphology practical. The course will cover the fundamentals of hillslope geomorphology and fluvial geomorphology through the lens of landscape analysis.
Course covers the theory and applications of tectonic geomorphology. Topics include the use of fluvial terraces and other geomorphic markers to map uplift, methods of dating surfaces and landscapes, topographic evolution over active structures and landscape evolution of active mountain ranges. Methods include field mapping, DEM analysis, and computer modeling.
