Course objectives
Position of anthropogenic geomorphology, the state of art of the discipline in Czech Republic and in the world. Direct and indirect human impact on landforms. Methodological approaches. Impact of economical activities upon the endogenic processes (redistribution of static and dynamic pressures in landforms and bedrock). Impact of economical activities upon the exogenic processes (acceleration and retardation of erosional and depositional processes). Weathering, aeolian, lacustrine and maririne processes - examples of human impact. Anhropogenic geomorphological processes and landforms. Anthropogenic weathering, degradation, agradation, transport, recultivation. Genetic classification of anthropogenic processes and landforms (morphogenetic approach). In detail will be discussed mining, river engineering, industrial, transportational, urban landforms. Mentioned will be also military, festiv, funeral nad recreational landforms. Maps of anthropogenic landforms, possibilities of assessment nad application. Main objectives can be summarized as follows: to understand the human impact on the landforms
Learning outcomes

- is able to characterize the influence of endogenous geomorphological processes on economic activity
- is able to characterize the influence of exogenous geomorphological processes
- characterizes anthropogenic geomorphological processes and shapes
