How students rate my courses, e.g., graduate classes in 'fluvial geomorphology', 'theory and methodology', or 'applied geomorphology'.
Undergraduate courses
-
Introduction to physical geography (first-year basics in geology, geomorphology, soil geography, climatology, regional landscape development);
-
Field methods of physical geography (basic field applications in geomorphology and soil geomorphology);
-
Fundamentals of soil geography, history of geography (lectures as part of a lecture series "Introduction to geography");
-
Landforms and soils: nature and diagnostic linkages between lithology, near-subsurface parent material, and soil formation; soil geomorphology as a tool for studying landform evolution in space and time; land use impacts on the soil profiles and soilscapes;
-
Applied Phyiscal Geography (flood hazards, beaver ecogeomorphology, river restoration);
Graduate courses
-
Geomorphic systems analysis - quantitative geomorphology: basics, methods, applications, research frontiers (advanced seminar);
-
Fluvial morphology (fundamentals of fluvial sedimentology/morphology, methodology, from classic to recent approaches to fluvial systems research, fluvial change in selected earth surface environments);
-
Applied geomorphology; application of quantitative geomorphic and paleohydrologic approaches to reconstruct sediment and water discharge during the 2005 flood event in an alpine sediment cascade (utilizing high-resolution geodata and GIS applications, geomorphic field mapping, hydraulic reconstruction of flood stages and bedload transport, etc.) (seminar and field course; homepage 2008/09);
-
Applied geomorphology: Impact of beaver re-population on floodplain water and sediment fluxes and vegetation (field course);
-
Theory and methodology of geomorphology (advanced seminar);
-
Holocene sediment budgeting in long-term cultivated areas: land use history, soil erosion and within-catchment redeposition; approaches and techniques (methods and field applications) (field course);
-
Paraglacial geomorphology; northern Alps (paraglacial cycling; spatio-temporal succession of glacial, periglacial, and fluvial domains during Lateglacial deglaciation and early Holocene); advanced seminar combining GIS applications and teaching in geomorphic field reconnaissance);
-
Near-subsurface analysis: field and laboratory course in near-subsurface strats and soilscape (including field exercises in coring, augering, exposure analyses, refraction seismic and geoelectrical measurements, exercises in laboratory standard methods);
-
Application of fluvial morphology to sustainable river restoration and self-maintaining management;
