This will be an introductory module on the forces responsible for the evolution of major landforms on the
surface of the Earth. The second part of the module will make students familiar with the present
Mauritian physical environment and its geological cum geomorphological build up. Since Mauritius
offers a living laboratory, a series of field work will be organised for students to have a first hand view
and which will form the base for course assessments. Assessment will be based on two assignments
involving empirical research (70 %) and a written Examination (30 %).
