What it is about

In this module you will learn causes, types and classification of landslides as well as methods for their prediction, monitoring and protection. By the end you will be able to assess hazards and risks of landslides, select appropriate monitoring methods, and perform simple risk analyses as well as cost-benefit considerations for protective works.

What you will be able to do

• Name landslide types and classification methods
• Understand causes and triggers of landslides
• Apply basics of hazard and risk assessment
• Conduct hazard mapping and zoning
• Evaluate suitable monitoring methods for different movement types
• Develop simple risk analysis and cost-benefit optimization for protective works
• Analyze the kinematic movement of landslides

What the module consists of

• VorlesungConveying the types, classifications, causes and case studies using presentations and videos
