What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to evaluate rock properties, weathering mechanisms, slope stability, and sediment movement in temperate mountain areas. You will learn to identify hazards, map and track high-risk locations, create basic mitigation solutions, and effectively share risk information. Develop a practical, field-oriented toolkit through a concise programme focused on everyday decision-making needs.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Assess slopes prone to weathering: quickly identify high-risk sites to avoid construction.
- Design quick, low-cost mitigation: drainage, rockfall barriers, and revegetation.
- Map and monitor rock hazards: field surveys, photos, and simple geomorphic mapping.
- Relate rock types to weathering: link granite, sandstone, shale to failure modes.
- Connect weathering to sediment pathways: track source-to-sink routes in valleys.
