Lessons deal with the fundamentals of geomorphology, focusing on the forms and process controlling the territory evolution; the methods of survey, and measurement of the control variables, in the field of geomorphology, geomechanics, geotechnics, hydrology and hydrogeology. Field activities add practical skills in acquiring and processing geological-technical data. Each topic includes a description of the procedures for data collection, data processing, with examples of application.

Main covered topics include:

- Aims and methods of technical geological survey

- The survey of the landforms and the effects of the geomorphological processes affecting the territory

- The characterization of loose deposits through field tools and technical laboratory tests

- The geomechanical characterization of rock masses through contact and remote surveys

- The survey of hydro-meteorological and hydrogeological quantities through field tests and monitoring networks

- The procedures and criteria for the creation of geomorphological and geo-technical maps

- Overview of case histories and applications with a focus on mountain environments
