| Course objective : | Study of the first elements of geomorphology, orientated towards dynamic geomorphology. Application of those notions to case studies chosen from all over the world and in specific locations known by the students (residence places or others).
After completing the course the student is expected to
By the end of the teaching, the student should be able to describe a given erosion landscape, using the appropriate terminology. |
