tudents deepen their knowledge and practical experience concerning field measurements and sampling and data analysis in their area of expertise; they get in touch with measurement and sampling techniques from other scientific disciplines and study interdisciplinary aspects of field activities and potential use of new innovative sampling techniques in their area of expertise.

Scheduled field measurements and sampling (changes and supplementary activities may arise during the detail and schedule planning of the lecture):

- Analysis of grain size distributions of sediments (bedload) in rivers
- Flow velocity analysis in rivers based on different measurement techniques
- Suspended load measurements in rivers
- Conduction and analysis of a specific experiment at an existing artificial rain station
- Cone penetration tests at specific spots in the field
- Laser scanner surveys (terrestrial and UAV-based scanners) at a specific spot in the field and use of optical sensors and IR-cameras

Specific measurement data and samples are used for further analyses and laboratory tests.

2-3 days (blocked) stay at specific spots in the surroundings of Innsbruck and performance of geodetic, geotechnical, hydraulic, hydrological and sedimentological measurements; measurements in groups under the lead of the instructor corresponding to the respective area of expertise, individual data analyses based on specific instructions and sampling analyses in the labs (geology, geotechnics, hydraulic engineering).
