Courses

LiDAR -Based Approach on Glacial Landscapes (5 ECTS) is an annual course that enables students to interpret the evolution of Finnish glacial landforms through geomorphological mapping and practical fieldwork. Students will learn to utilize LiDAR-based hillshade and elevation data and practice basic sedimentological field methods.
