Students have to know: 1. Physics of geomorphic processes. 2. Methods of dating geomorphic features. 3. Geomorphology of folded terrain: bedrock attitude and landforms. 4. Geomorphology of fractured terrain: jointing, faulting and landforms. 5. Principles and Methods of Quantitative Tectonic Geomorphology. 6. Geomorphic markers: landscape features that can be used to track deformation. 7. Tectonic deformation during the Quaternary period.

Students must have skills and knowledge related to structural Geology, Geomorphology, Quaternary Geology and GIS analysis

Modern tectonic geomorphology is an exceptionally integrative discipline that utilises techniques and data derived from studies of geomorphology, seismology, geochronology, structural geology, geodesy, stratigraphy, meteorology and Quaternary geology. Tectonic analysis in geomorphology is the study of the interplay between tectonic and surface processes that shape the landscape in regions of active deformation and at time scales ranging from days to millions of years. The consideration is given to recent advances in the quantification of both rates and the physical basis of tectonic and surface processes. Tectonic geomorphology focuses on the current understanding of the dynamic interplay between surface processes and active tectonics.
