What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to evaluate rock characteristics, weathering mechanisms, slope stability, and sediment movement in temperate mountain areas. You will identify dangers, map and track risky locations, create basic mitigation strategies, and effectively share risk information. Gain a practical, field-oriented toolkit through a concise program tailored for everyday decision-making in real scenarios.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Assess slopes prone to weathering: rapidly identify high-risk areas to prevent construction issues.
- Design quick, affordable mitigation solutions: including drainage systems, rockfall barriers, and revegetation efforts.
- Map and monitor rock hazards: using field assessments, photography, and basic geomorphic mapping techniques.
- Connect rock types to weathering patterns: relating granite, sandstone, shale to specific failure mechanisms.
- Link weathering to sediment pathways: tracing material from sources to deposition sites in valley systems.
