What it is about

The module provides fundamentals on natural hazards in alpine regions, in particular water, debris and slope processes as well as nivial, glacial and peri-glacial hazards. You will learn to understand processes, analyze hazard potentials and develop and apply protection and adaptation strategies.

What you will be able to do

  • Understand fundamental processes in alpine catchments
  • Know the main aspects of water and debris management
  • Capture the range of gravitational, nivial, glacial and peri-glacial hazards
  • Analyze strategies and tools for protective measures
  • Apply scientific and practical approaches to anticipation and mitigation

What the module consists of

  • VorlesungProvision of the theoretical framework on processes and dynamics of alpine hazards
  • Praxisbeispiele / ÜbungenIllustration of strategies and quantitative tasks; calculation examples in class
  • Selbststudium wissenschaftlicher LiteraturDeepening of topics and preparation for discussions

Teaching method

  • VorlesungExplanation of the theoretical foundations
  • Praktische Beispiele / in-class exercisesApplication of what has been learned to concrete tasks and quantitative calculations
  • Selbststudium wissenschaftlicher LiteraturExpansion of discussion and deepening of subject-specific background
