The course will provide the expertise to analyse landscapes and geomorphic elements, sediments and sedimentary successions in terms of sediment transport/deposition, landscape evolution, geometry of sedimentary bodies and their evolution in time. Practical skills in the application of basics processing of remote sensing and of improved techniques of field survey will be major goals. These tools will improve the ability of the student in investigating and representing the stratigraphic deposits and the surface processes, also with the aim of assessing the degree of activity and the geomorphological hazard. The knowledge provided in the frame of the course will allow to deal with subsurface exploration and territorial management. The course aims at creating awareness of the interactions existing between natural dynamics and processes induced by the human activity, with the goal of limiting the anthropogenic impact on the planet and climate.
