This course on geomorphology for project planning and implementation aims to explore the role of geomorphology in understanding rivers' changes over time. Participants will learn how to conduct geomorphological assessments to improve project designs, utilize palaeo-flood hydrology for flood risk estimation, and apply geomorphological principles in engineering around water. The course covers topics such as definitions, history, conceptual models, tools of the trade, case studies, and Q&A sessions. The teaching method includes expert presentations and global experiences in the field. This course is intended for professionals involved in project planning, engineering, and environmental management, seeking to enhance their understanding of geomorphology's significance in their work.
