Over the last few decades the study of landscape dynamics (or geomorphological processes) has become increasingly important. Scientists (or geomorphologists) have wanted to understand how particular landforms and landscapes were created, and engineers and environmental managers have needed to understand landscape dynamics in order to better manage coastal, glacial, desert and fluvial environments. Most recently, geomorphologists have been concerned with how past and future environmental changes affect landforms and landscapes. Landforms and, at the larger scale, landscapes, are fashioned by many processes operating on different materials: they also reflect the history of processes operating over days to millions of years. The module provides an introduction to these dynamic landscapes, focusing on aeolian, coastal, fluvial and glacial processes, with the aim of understanding the nature and causes of changes in landform and landscape both on Earth and other planetary bodies. The module will also address the topic of how life on Earth helps to shape the physical landscape, and vice versa, with the most obvious example being the influence of human activity on our planet.
