Submarine geomorphology
The course is concerned with seafloor landforms and landscapes, and the geomorphological processes in the marine environment that create and shape those landforms.
You will learn about fundamental geomorphological concepts, erosion and deposition processes in marine environments, as well as how marine landforms can be mapped and investigated with marine geophysical methods. The course will explore the significance of sea level change, ocean currents, and marine-terminating ice sheets and glaciers for the construction and distribution of different submarine landforms.
