| Course contents : | Main themes of the course: tectonic landscapes and features, from the continental to the local (fault) scale; measuring the present-day crustal motions; rivers and tectonics; earthquakes (distribution, mechanism, measure, effects, paleoseismology, prediction); volcanoes (tectonic setting, products, volcanic geomorphology). |
|
| Course objective : | The aim of the course is to characterize the tectonic and volcanic landscapes, to highlight the ties between volcanoes and tectonics and to provide the basic knowledge for a correct understanding of the seismic and volcanic hazards. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Basic knowledge in mechanics, general geomorphology and geology |
|
| Workshops : | Structural geomorphology, based on the analysis of topographical maps |
|
| Organization : | 2- or 3-hours lectures; 2-hours practicals in groups limited to 12 people. The course covers a whole week during the 2nd semester. |
|
| Written notes : | Lecture notes, + copy of the PowerPoint files delivered to the class delegate. |
|
| Assessment : | Written examination in the first session; in case of failure, oral examination in the 2nd session. |
