This course provides a lecture and field-based study of the processes responsible for shaping and modifying Australian and global landforms. An overview of the theoretical framework of geomorphology provides the foundation for the theme of the course, "from catchment to coast". Topics covered include catchment hydrology, slope evolution, erosion and sediment transport, fluvial systems and coastal processes and landforms. Emphasis is placed on the application of geomorphology to land and resource management.

Note: Field data form the basis of laboratory work, and the compulsory field trip to collect these data will involve expense to individual students.
