Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
1) understand endogenic and exogenic geomorphic processes that affect the formation and development of landforms
2) explain how tectonics and fluids (e.g., river, wind and wave) form specific landforms
3) identify and interpret landforms obtained by remotely sensed images
4) learn how geomorphological techniques have been applied to solving problems
