Introduction. Knowledge of the fields of application of climatology and meteorology. Knowledge of the main geomorphological hazards, and related risks, relating to the different types of environments and for the proper management of the environment.
Concepts of danger, vulnerability and risk in relation to geomorphological processes.
The atmosphere (composition, balance, radiation, temperature distribution, circulation)
Precipitation: formation, measurement methods, meteoric inflow into a catchment area, rainfall regimes, extreme events (intensity, duration, distribution, return times).
Temperature: measurement methods, connection with intense meteoric events (snowfalls, convective rains, etc.).
Hints of river gomorphology: Hydrographic basin, types of flow, morphometry, time of corrosion. Elements of geomorphological analysis of the hydrographic network.
Hydrological balances.
Surface outflows: level and flow measurements, hydrometers, velocity measurements, flow calculation, hydrogram and flood hydrogram analysis. The propagation of floods.
