Geomorphology for Project Planning and Implementation

Explore the role of geomorphology in project planning and implementation in this 59-minute webinar from the Australian Water School. Delve into the world of fluvial geomorphology, learning how rivers change over time and how geomorphologists piece together their stories. Discover technological advances that enhance river tracking, building upon established principles. Understand how geomorphological assessments benefit project designs, the impact of palaeo-flood hydrology on flood risk estimation, and essential geomorphological principles for water-related engineering. Gain insights from expert fluvial geomorphologists as they share their global experiences through case studies on instream sand mining, adjacent infrastructure, and sediment events. Explore other areas of involvement, including palaeoflood hydrology, and participate in a Q&A session to deepen your understanding of this crucial field in water resource management and project planning.
