What will I learn?
Gain hands-on expertise in analysing rock characteristics, weathering mechanisms, slope stability, and sediment transport routes in temperate mountainous areas. Master identifying dangers, mapping and tracking vulnerable locations, creating basic protective strategies, and effectively sharing risk information. Develop a practical, field-oriented skill set through this concise programme tailored for practical decision-making in real scenarios.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Evaluate slopes vulnerable to weathering: rapidly identify high-risk areas to prevent construction hazards.
- Develop quick, budget-friendly mitigation strategies: including drainage systems, rockfall barriers, and vegetation restoration.
- Conduct mapping and monitoring of rock dangers: using field assessments, photography, and basic geomorphic mapping.
- Correlate rock composition with weathering patterns: associating granite, sandstone, and shale with specific failure mechanisms.
- Integrate weathering processes with sediment pathways: tracing material movement from origins to deposition sites in valleys.
