alison_courseware_intro_2451.jpgThis course is intended to equip you with more advanced knowledge and applications of geomorphology discipline in land resource assessment, land use design and environmental management. The course therefore aims at rigorous applications of geomorphology to contemporary problems in environmental management and natural resource utilization. This is aimed at preparing you to be an environmental manager, land use planner and designer, disaster and hazard management expert, landscape ecosystem and biodiversity expert, water resource expert, soil and water conservation expert, landscape expert, etc. In this course, we will put more attention on slope and fluvial geomorphic landforms and processes operating thereof, to capture the dynamics of human-environmental relationships and geomorphic challenges and opportunities of natural resource utilization on such landscapes. In order for you to understand how landforms and landscapes evolve, modern approaches to geomorphological study will be mostly used. As you will notice, there will be significant departure from evolutionary approach to a dominantly process-response approach.
