The goal of this course is to familiarize students with physiogeographic methods and to enable them to plan and conduct fieldwork under supervision.

The lecture is divided into two blocks:1. important physio geographic measurement principles will be presented and discussed at the University of Klagenfurt (introduction by course leader/other experts and presentations by students). These include methods in geomorphology, soil, climate, biogeography and hydrogeography and its applications.2. Some of the measurements and monitoring techniques covered in theory are explained in practice by the instructor and other experts. Practice will be in the field and in the laboratory. Students will be expected to perform practical work independently during and after the course (tutors will support the students during this work).

The course introduces theoretical and practical methods relevant to physiogeography including methods in geomorphology, soil, climate, vegetation, animal, and hydrogeography and applications.

All introductory lectures in physical geography.

Introduction of the theoretical part is taught in English. The use of English- and German-language technical literature is an obligatory part of the course in order to promote the students' subject-specific foreign language competence.
