Purpose and description of the content of education:
During the classes, the student learns about the environmental hazards associated with the occurrence of geomorphological processes. During the classes, the risks associated with landslides, debris flows, material falling off rock walls, ground collapse, fluvial erosion, ravine erosion and river bank erosion are discussed. Causes and effects related to the occurrence of particular geomorphological processes are analysed. The classes also discuss methods of prevention and early response in connection with the occurrence of geomorphological processes.
