• autonomous creation of analogue or digital geomorphological maps
• autonomous detection and mapping of natural hazards related processes and gathering of simulation model related parameters

Aim of the field course (four to five consecurtive days) is to learn and practice mapping of geomorphological process results in high mountain terrain. In particular cryosphere and natural hazard processes like avalanches or mud flows will be considered.

Methods for mapping and interpretation (stratigraphic ordering) of cryospheric processes will be trained as well as the detection and quantification of natur hazards related parameters.

Assessment of analysis results, geomorphological maps and related reports.

The course is aimed at all those students who are interested in high mountain processes but also at those who might want to participate in the master's specialisation in natural hazards research.

Mountaineering expirience also in winter (trackless high mountain area) as well as according equipment is mandatory.

Details will be discussed in a mandatory introductory meeting.
