This seminar introduces and explores Earth surface processes such as weathering, erosion, sediment transport, and landform development to gain insights into landscape dynamics and how environmental changes over the past few million years have shaped today’s landscapes. The course critically examines the influences of climate change, tectonic activity, and human impact on the environment, considering both natural and anthropogenic factors. Modern concepts and cutting-edge techniques for reconstructing past environmental changes will be introduced through a series of interactive lectures. These lectures are complemented by paper discussions that allow to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios.
