What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to evaluate rock characteristics, weathering mechanisms, slope stability, and sediment transport in temperate mountain areas. You will identify risks, map and track vulnerable locations, create basic mitigation strategies, and effectively convey hazards. Gain a practical, field-oriented toolkit through this concise program tailored for practical decision-making in real scenarios.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Assess slopes prone to weathering: rapidly identify high-risk areas to prevent construction hazards.
- Develop quick, affordable mitigation solutions: including drainage systems, rockfall protections, and vegetation restoration.
- Conduct mapping and monitoring of rock dangers: using field assessments, photography, and basic geomorphic techniques.
- Correlate rock types with weathering patterns: associating granite, sandstone, and shale with specific failure mechanisms.
- Trace weathering effects on sediment movement: following pathways from source areas to valley sinks.
