Knowledge of Geomorphology and Geology

Knowledge of relationships between man and environment and of main geomorphological hazards related to environmental planning and management. Areas analysis skill both in qualitative and quantitative terms. Interaction with other sciences skill in order to contribute to knowledge of terrain and its management. Identification on field skill of landscape elements and processes and drawing skill geomorphologic and geo-environmental maps.

Relationships between the structural-geological environment and the landscape. Geomorphology of coastal plain, plain and plateau, dome, folded and block mountains. Tectonic geomorphology. Relationships between climatic conditions and changes and geomophological dynamics. Geomorphological hazard, vulnerability and risk in mountain, fluvial and coastal environment. Geomorphological mapping and applied geomorphological mapping: principles and field survey techniques. Geologic and geomorphological heritage. Geosites and geo-morphosites: laws and regulations, description, assessment, surveying and mapping. Preservation and conservation of the landscape
Geologic-geomorphologic analysis of specific region to define the geoenvironmental features. Reponse of the natural system to human intervention. National and regional regulations related to V.I.A. (environmental impact assessment), and applications. Geological aspects of environmental impact studies.
