Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Recent research from different disciplines of Physical Geography will be discussed. In particular in recent decades, new and further developed methods and techniques lead to new profound knowledge in Physical Gesography. It is aimed to elaborate these new research topics and to discuss these in their importance for the relevant subjects.
The fundamental goal herein is the comparison of these new developments with the traditional approaches to deliniate the possibilities, but also the limitations of the new methods and techniques. Discussions of the linkage to system theories and to global change issues is of particular importance. Specific lectures will concentrate on pre-defined subjects from Physical Geography.
