What will I learn?
This Rock Weathering Course equips you with hands-on skills to evaluate rock characteristics, weathering mechanisms, slope stability, and sediment movement in temperate mountain zones. You'll learn to identify risks, map and track vulnerable areas, create basic mitigation solutions, and convey dangers effectively. Develop a practical, field-oriented toolkit through a streamlined programme focused on everyday decision-making.
