Course Overview

The Geomorphic Processes: Landforms and Landscapes certification course is designed for those particular students who want to learn about processes in the geomorphic field in detail, this course will help them to learn about different segments involved in the processes engaged in this particular field. The course exposes the pupil to the underlying concepts of geomorphology and the physical world associated with it.

The modules of this course would encourage the student to have a deeper understanding of processes that work within the earth and even on the surface of the earth. The Geomorphic Processes: Landforms and Landscapes certification will be given as assurance that the candidate has successfully completed the particular programme. A student should be well prepared with the knowledge of the numerous landforms and processes that exist in fluvial, glacial, karst, aeolian, coastal terrains after this course.

More focus will be done on engaging students in a more analytical approach towards learning the concepts more clearly that will give them better understanding about the concepts in a more detailed manner. The Geomorphic Processes: Landforms and Landscapes training will be given as per the weekly structure of the syllabus for the programme.
