Teaching at the Chair of Physical Geography

How we see our teaching practice

The Chair of Physical Geography primarily teaches geomorphological and hydrological topics, with a strong focus on the research and study area “Environmental Processes and Natural Hazards”.

Our teaching concept follows these guidelines:

• Combination of theory and practice – sound theoretical training in lecture halls and seminar rooms, followed by hands-on scientific work in the field collecting data and analyzing it in the laboratory or on the computer
• Diversity of methods: field, laboratory, hardware, and software – state-of-the-art
• Topics from applied and fundamental research – for a variety of career prospects
• Vital connection between research and teaching – project seminars and theses are integrated into current research projects, and methodology courses often use data from our own projects
