The course aims to provide the student with the tools to deal with a "geomorphological problem", collecting, analyzing data and proposing possible solutions to prevent or mitigate phenomena that could constitute hazard conditions. Emphasis will be given to the stimulation of the analysis of problems and their resolution (problem solving skill).

Programma
Introduction; the role of Geomophology in the assessment of natural risk; the principles of geomorphological hazard, vulnerability, risk; multi-risk assessment; endogenic and exogenic morphogenesis of dangerous surface processes and methods to study them; fluvial dynamics and river erosion, relative hazard and mitigation; floods; coastal dynamics, marine erosion and mitigation; tectonic geomorphology with particular regard on active tectonics; slope dynamics: diffusion, mass wasting, soil erosion, relative hazard and mitigation. In-class activities are planned for each topic.Testi Adottati
