Geomorphology

Introduction to Geomorphology Applied Geomorphology, a sub-discipline of Geomorphology, delves into the practical application of geomorphological principles in solving real-world environmental problems. Geomorphology itself is the study of landforms, their processes, formation, and evolution over time. Applied Geomorphology takes this a step further by incorporating geomorphological knowledge into fields such as environmental management, urban planning,

Applied Geomorphology studies Earth’s surface processes, aiding environmental planning, hazard management, and sustainable development.

Denudation chronology studies processes shaping landforms over time, important for environment management and hazard assessment.

Earth’s dynamic processes shape its surface, causing volcanicity, earthquakes, and tsunamis with significant effects and hazards.

Mountain building, orogenesis, shapes Earth’s landscapes through tectonic, climate, and deep mantle processes. Recent studies enhance understanding.
