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 upland areas. You will learn to identify risks, survey and track vulnerable locations, devise basic remedial actions, and convey dangers effectively. Develop a robust, practical toolkit through a concise programme focused on real-world applications.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Assess slopes prone to weathering: identify high-risk sites swiftly to prevent construction.
- Design rapid, cost-effective mitigation: implement drainage, rockfall barriers, and revegetation.
- Map and monitor rock hazards: conduct field surveys, photography, and basic geomorphic mapping.
- Link rock types to weathering: associate granite, sandstone, and shale with failure mechanisms.
- Trace weathering to sediment pathways: follow source-to-sink routes in valley systems.
