A.A. 2016/2017
Credits 9
Hours 72
Period I
Language ENG

Prerequisites
Geo-lithology and Applied Geology

Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
The course enables the student to acquire basic concepts on the environmental system (Geology, Physical geography, Geomorphology, Hydrogeology), natural hazards and hydrogeological risk analysis.
CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
The knowledge acquired during the course gives to the future environmental engineer the ability to recognize natural hazards that affect engineering projects.
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
The basic knowledge of natural hazards enables the future environmental engineer to communicate with different specialists in the analysis and reduction of the geological risk.

Program
(Frontal lessons 60 hours). Basic concepts of Physical geography, Geomorphology and Applied Geomorphology. Processes, morphological forms and deposits. Catchment area and morphometry. Fluvial forms and processes. Geology, hydrogeology, landslides and slope stability. Coastal morphology and processes. The hydrogeological risk, prevention and mitigation

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
the evaluation is through written test with oral discussion. In the test, students have to deal with the issues related to the theoretical part of Aplied Geomorphology, basic hydrogeology, natural hazard and risk, reading and analysis geomorpholocical maps with recognition of the natural hazard zones..

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
In examinations, students must demonstrate the ability to use independently and correctly geomorphological and hydrogeological methodology to analysis of natural hazards in the environmental system. Must demonstrate synthesis capacity and, at the same time, completeness in the responses to questions. l

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
during the examination the student's ability to answer the questions correctly on the course theoretical arguments and the correct interpretation of the geomorphological and hydrogeological maps with the recognition of natural hazards in the environmental system are evaluated.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
The maximum mark, derived from the scores obtained by the test, is equal to thirty points with honors and is assigned to students that demonstrate full autonomy in the response. The minimum rating is eighteen and is assigned to students that have sufficient knowledge to set a correct answer.
