The main objective of the course is to introduce students to basic concepts of geomorphological methods and techniques in the resolution and confrontation of problems in applied researches and studies of geosciences. At the same time the growth of dexterities of students on issues of geomorphological mapping, sampling and analysis of sediments and they can approach geomorphologic problems and select the methods and that techniques that will give them the possibility to understand the natural processes.
Methodology of geomorphological mappings, reading and analyzing the cartographic data, air-photos, satellite images and ancient maps to recognized landforms. Geomorphological analysis and technical work (road construction, artificial reservoir and dams, harbour work). Contribution of geomorphology in the development of environmental studies (brought matters, transport of sediments, slope erosion, wetlands, delta, re-establishment of mines of – quarries). Study of depositional and post depositional sedimentation processes, choice of analytical methods. Paleo-environmnetal reconstitution and interpretation of paleo-geographical maps. Geomorphological mapping, techniques and methodology. Symbols, scales using analog and digital maps. During the course a field trip at regions of great geomorphological interest is organised. The aim of the field trip is the assimilation of the theoretical knowledge, produce geomorphological maps and interpreted the geomorphological evolution of the study area.
The teaching method is consisting of 2 hours attending lectures and 1 hour for practicing and laboratory obligatory work on weekly basis. The basic assessment type of the course is the written examination at the end of the semester (3 hours).
