What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to analyse rocks, stratigraphy, and land surface processes in mountain basins of western regions. You will learn to interpret maps, borehole logs, and satellite data, reconstruct past geological events, and assess risks for roads and small dams. Develop expertise in evaluating earthquake dangers, slope stability, and ground conditions to deliver solid, evidence-based advice for actual projects.
