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
