102-0287-00L | Fluvial Systems | 3 KP | 2G | P. Molnar | |
Kurzbeschreibung | The course presents a view of the processes acting on and shaping the landscape and the fluvial landforms that result. The fluvial system is viewed in terms of the production and transport of sediment on hillslopes, the structure of the river network and channel morphology, fluvial processes in the river, riparian zone and floodplain, and basics of catchment and river management. | ||||
Lernziel | The course has two fundamental aims: (1) it aims to provide environmental engineers with the physical process basis of fluvial system change, using the right language and terminology to describe landforms; and (2) it aims to provide quantitative skills in making simple and more complex predictions of change and the data and models required. | ||||
Inhalt | The course consists of three sections: (1) Introduction to fluvial forms and processes and geomorphic concepts of landscape change, including climatic and human activities acting on the system. (2) The processes of sediment production, upland sheet-rill-gully erosion, basin sediment yield, rainfall-triggered landsliding, sediment budgets, and the modelling of the individual processes involved. (3) Processes in the river, floodplain and riparian zone, including river network topology, channel geometry, aquatic habitat, role of riparian vegetation, including basics of fluvial system management. The main focus of the course is hydrological and the scales of interest are field and catchment scales. | ||||
Skript | There is no script. | ||||
Literatur | The course materials consist of a series of 13 lecture presentations and notes to each lecture. The lectures were developed from textbooks, professional papers, and ongoing research activities of the instructor. All material is on the course webpage. | ||||
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Prerequisites: Hydrology 1 and Hydrology 2 (or contact instructor). | ||||

Kurzbeschreibung | Die Kurs ist in Form eines Seminars mit studentischen Vorträgen organisiert. Themen aus den Kerndisziplinen des Studiengangs (Wasserressourcen und -haushalt, Siedlungswasserwirtschaft, Stoffhaushalt, Entsorgungstechnik, Luftreinhaltung, Erdbeobachtung) werden diskutiert auf der Basis von wissenschaftlichen Veröffentlichungen, die von den Studierenden dargestellt und kritisch begutachtet werden. | ||||
Lernziel | Neue Forschungsergebnisse und Anwendungsbeispiele aus dem Fachbereich der Umweltingenieurwissenschaften kennen und analysieren lernen. |
