Aims and Objectives
This course is part of the ICoD Project "Developing
Geomorphological mapping skills and datasets in anticipation of
subsequent Susceptibility, Vulnerability, Hazard and Risk Mapping"
funded by the EUR-OPA Major Hazards Agreement of the Council of
Europe. The course aims at providing post-graduates, PhD students
and early-career scientists with knowledge on traditional and
innovative methods and techniques for geomorphological
mapping in coastal areas.
Specific objectives of the course are: i) providing know-how on
geomorphological mapping procedures; ii) providing practical skills
for the recognition and mapping of landforms and processes; iii)
producing a geomorphological essay map; iv) meeting and
discussing with lecturers and experts in an informal setting.

This Training Course has been developed based on Barcelona Declaration
guidelines so as to reflect a course content equivalent to 3 ECTS. As a
consequence, on submission of a geomorphological essay map, each course
participant will be awarded a certificate by the course organisers, indicating
the course content, number of instruction hours and participant output. This
certificate is aimed at enabling individual participants to apply to their
respective institutions for such recognition.
