Learning objectives
Students will learn the fundamental concepts to use geomorphologic map as territorial information source for hazards evaluation and risk management.
During the course, the student will learn the main geomorphologic hazards and risks of the Alps, Apennines and Po Plain.
Course unit content
The general concepts on hydrologic, geologic and geomorphologic hazards and related risk management will be the matter of the first part of the course.
In the second part of the course, the main geomorphologic hazards will be illustrate also through the description of case studies.
