Course content
The content of the discipline reveals theoretical and applied issues of morphometric relief analysis. Two parts are distinguished in the structure of the discipline. The first part is devoted to the study of the theoretical foundations of morphometric analysis, in particular, the definition of the goals of such research and the ways to achieve them. The second part of the course is aimed at consideration of various methods of measurement and calculation of morphometric indicators, methods of their interpretation and presentation of the obtained characteristics.
