Rock Weathering Course
This course equips geography and geology professionals with essential field skills to master rock weathering in temperate mountain regions. Participants will connect rock lithology, climate influences, and river processes to evaluate slope stability, map hazards accurately, and implement practical mitigation strategies for real-world risk management and decision-making.

What will I learn?
Gain hands-on expertise in analysing rock characteristics, understanding weathering mechanisms, assessing slope stability, and tracing sediment movements in temperate mountainous areas. Develop abilities to identify potential dangers, conduct mapping and monitoring of vulnerable locations, create basic mitigation solutions, and convey risks effectively in a concise programme tailored for practical, on-site applications.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Assess slopes prone to weathering: identify high-risk areas swiftly to prevent construction hazards.
- Design affordable quick mitigation strategies: including drainage systems, rockfall barriers, and revegetation techniques.
- Map and monitor rock hazards effectively: using field surveys, photography, and basic geomorphic mapping.
- Link rock types to weathering patterns: relating granite, sandstone, shale to specific failure mechanisms.
- Trace weathering impacts on sediment flow: understanding source-to-sink pathways in mountain valleys.
