Introduction
Knowledge of the fields of application of engineering geomorphology. Environmental management: lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. Principles and methods of geomorphological analysis for the realization of a study for engineering works, for local and regional analysis and for environmental impact assessment. Knowledge of the main geomorphological hazards, and related risks, relating to different types of geomorphological environments and for the correct land management.
Geomorphological tools for applied and environmental issues; geomorphological mapping applied to land management and geomorphological hazards.
Examples of studies and applications of engineering geomorphology.
Engineering geomorphology for the management of the mountain environment, including glacial and periglacial environment.
Geomorphological assessment of slopes stability.
Engineering geomorphology for the management of the river environment.
Engineering geomorphology for the management of the coastal environment.
Engineering geomorphology for the management of karst environment.
Fundamentals of hazard, vulnerability and risk in relation to geomorphological processes.
Geomorphological hazards in Abruzzo. Examples from the mountain area, the piedmont hills and the coastal area. Examples in tropical and polar environments.
Laboratory: Activities in the lab and field, methods of applied geomorphological analysis and mapping.
