What will I learn?
Acquire essential practical skills for evaluating rock characteristics, understanding weathering mechanisms, assessing slope stability, and tracing sediment movement in temperate mountain landscapes. Master hazard identification, high-risk site mapping and monitoring, basic mitigation strategy development, and effective risk communication. This streamlined program equips you with a robust, field-applicable toolkit focused on real-world geohazard management and decision-making.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Assess slopes prone to weathering: identify high-risk areas swiftly to prevent construction hazards.
- Design affordable, rapid mitigation strategies: including drainage systems, rockfall barriers, and revegetation efforts.
- Map and monitor rock hazards effectively: using field surveys, photography, and basic geomorphic mapping techniques.
- Link rock lithology to weathering patterns: relating granite, sandstone, and shale to specific failure mechanisms.
- Trace weathering impacts on sediment pathways: following source-to-sink routes through mountain valleys.
