Submarine geomorphology

The course is concerned with marine geomorphological processes that shape and produce characteristic landforms on the seafloor, and how these landforms indicate both modern seafloor dynamics and palaeo environments, ocean and climate conditions. 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, currents, and marine-terminating ice sheets and glaciers for the construction and distribution of different submarine landforms.
