What will I learn?
This course equips participants with essential skills to evaluate rock characteristics, understand weathering mechanisms, assess slope stability, and trace sediment movement in temperate mountainous areas. You will learn to identify potential hazards, conduct mapping and monitoring of vulnerable locations, develop basic mitigation strategies, and effectively convey risks. Gain a practical, field-oriented skill set through a concise program tailored for informed decision-making in real scenarios.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Assess slopes vulnerable to weathering: rapidly identify high-risk areas to prevent construction issues.
- Design efficient, budget-friendly mitigation solutions: including drainage systems, rockfall barriers, and revegetation efforts.
- Map and monitor rock hazards: using field surveys, photography, and basic geomorphic mapping techniques.
- Link rock lithology to weathering patterns: associating granite, sandstone, and shale with specific failure mechanisms.
- Trace weathering impacts on sediment pathways: following source-to-sink routes through valley systems.
