Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The lecture is centered on morphological effects of earthquakes and on the surface of volcanoes.
It covers various aspects of neotectonics, seismo-tectonics, seismology, tectonic geomorphology as well as the physics and geomorphology related to volcanic activity.
This lecture also includes an English evaluatoin.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The goal is to understand the geological origin of earthquake and volcano hazards.
