Objectives:
The course provides an overview of landforms, landforming processes, and landscape evolution. In particular, it aims to shed light on various landforming processes and how these depend on climate and tectonic regimes, and time. The course shall further convey an understanding of landforming processes on different temporal and spatial magnitudes.
Content:
The course addresses topics such as the relationship between landforms, structural, bedrock, and Quaternary geology, as well as various models for landscape evolution in various places around the world, with special emphasis on Norway. Two important parts of the course are fieldwork and writing of essays. This includes searching for relevant information, correct use of citations in the text, and managing of references. In addition, the writing of essays includes giving comments on texts written by fellow students (i.e. peer-reviewing), as well as handling feedback received on the essays.
