This course will cover i) the principles of polar geography and geomorphology; ii) the role of different geomorphic processes in shaping the landscape; iii) the response of the earth system to climate changes through time as recorded by rocks, sediments, and landforms.
The course will provide an extensive overview of:
- the role of the dynamic earth system in setting the background of polar regions (geographical and geomorphological setting of polar regions);
- geomorphologic evidence of past glacial history;
- impact of climate changes on the glacial geological record and on landforms assemblages of polar regions.
