Introduction to landscape architecture, geology and hydrology
In the landscape architecture part of the course you will learn the basics of drawing maps, how urban planning is done in Sweden, and how we as landscape architects discuss and explore place and spatial.
In geology and hydrology, basic concepts and processes are introduced, the geological development and structure of the landscape as well as the occurrence and movement of the water therein. You will also learn to identify Sweden's most common soils, minerals and rock types.

Objectives
The course aims to give the student an idea of how it is to study, and work as a landscape architect and basic knowledge of geology and hydrology.
After completing the course the student will be able to:
Knowledge and understanding
give an overview of activities and tasks that landscape architects work with
give an overview of how society´s goal of sustainable development is handled in planning, design and management
give an overview of some theories for the analysis of urban places and spaces
explain basic concepts and processes in geology and hydrology
demonstrate basic knowledge of geological development and structure of the Swedish landscape, as well as water presence and movement therein
identify those in Sweden most common minerals and rocks as well as the most common soil types.
Competence and skills
under supervision apply some of the landscape architect’s most common working methods
use the computer for easier word and image processing
use SLU’s information tools to search for information about studies
Content
The course consists of two parts, landscape architecture and soil science (geology and hydrology).
Landscape architecture
This part´s main theme is a number of compulsory exercises, where the student under supervision try a few different methods that a professional landscape architect uses. There is also an introductory exercise in using word and image processing software.
Compulsory excursions are intended in part to give students a common reference framework for future studies but act also as an eye opener for discussions of human impact on the landscape and the landscape architect’s role in society.
This part also provides an introduction to university studies, the student union and education. In lectures and exercises, the student are made aware of the tools needed to cope with university studies available at SLU.
Soil science
The geological part includes: Introduction to the Earth’s structure, plate tectonics and processes that form the bedrock. Orientation about the composition and characteristics of the most common rock forming minerals and rocks. Glaciology and glacial deposits. Land uplift effects and soil distribution in the landscape. Weathering, mass movements, frost phenomena and erosion. Rock and soil types abundance in different parts of the Sweden. Exercises to learn mineral- rock- and soil types.
The hydrological part includes: water cycle and water balance, ground water knowledge, its occurrence and flow in the landscape as well as simple hydrological calculations.
A compulsory field trip is included.
Grading form
The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.Formats and requirements for examination
The course is divided into two sub examinations corresponding to the course two subjects, landscape architecture and soil science (geology, hydrology). The parts are graded separately and are put together according to the course assessment criteria.
Landscape Architecture, 9 credits: Approved seminar work and written assignments and active participation in compulsory parts.
Soil Science, 6 credits: Passed exams, written assignments and active participation in compulsory parts.
If a student has failed an examination, the examiner has the right to issue supplementary assignments. This applies if it is possible and there are grounds to do so.
The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.
If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
For the assessment of an independent project (degree project), the examiner may also allow a student to add supplemental information after the deadline for submission. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Other information
The right to participate in teaching and/or supervision only applies for the course instance the student was admitted to and registered on.
If there are special reasons, students are entitled to participate in components with compulsory attendance when the course is given again. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Additional information
Field trip with an overnight stay included. Information on costs is available on the course website four weeks before the course starts.Responsible department

Endast några sidor i denna bok används på kursen idag eftersom vi numera har en förkortad variant av den i hydrologikompendiet. Stora delar av boken är dock relevant för kursen ifall du vill fördjupa dig eller få något i hydrologikompendiet förtydligat.
