Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course offers a comprehensive, hands-on exploration of data collection and investigation techniques widely applied in geomorphological research. Students will engage with field methods, including Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), UAV-based surveys, geomorphological mapping, and Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), to analyze dynamic landscapes effectively.

Three key components structure the course: theoretical lectures, fieldwork in the Austrian Alps (Salzkammergut), and data analysis with student presentations and reports. Therefore, it bridges theory with real-world application.
Through this course, students will: i) develop expertise in essential investigation and monitoring techniques used in geomorphology and natural hazard assessment; ii) gain experience in field-based data acquisition, interpretation, and analysis; iii) apply theoretical knowledge to real-world case studies, enhancing problem-solving skills; and iv) develop critical thinking and communication skills through research reporting and professional presentations.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Assessment will be continuous throughout the course and will include: i) Attendance to the field excursion and active participation (20%); ii) Oral presentation, focused on interpreting and presenting research findings (20%); iii) Final written report (50%), demonstrating analytical and research skills; iv) Session attendance and contributions (10%). Additionally, students will be evaluated on their ability to interpret and present concepts, as well as qualitative and quantitative data.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The final grade is based on the allocation of points, and the maximum attainable is 100. To pass the course, students must meet the following requirements:
- Mandatory participation: Attendance at the fieldwork activity and engagement in key course components;
- Completion of all assessments: Submission of both the oral presentation and the final written report;
- Minimum points requirement: At least 50 out of 100 points across all assessment components.
Regular attendance, active participation, and contributions to discussions will positively influence the final assessment.

Grading System:
• 88-100 points: Excellent (Grade 1)
• 75-87 points: Very Good (Grade 2)
• 63-74 points: Good (Grade 3)
• 50-62 points: Satisfactory (Grade 4)
• Below 50 points: Fail (Grade 5)

Prüfungsstoff

The examination will focus on the ability of the students to interpret and present qualitative and quantitative data analysis performed during the course. This includes the analysis of the data collected during the field activity presented both in the form of the oral presentation and the final written report. In particular, grades are based on i) content accuracy in the interpretation and presentation of data; ii) depth of personal research and analysis; iii) clarity and concept delivery (both in writing and verbally). This assessment ensures that students can apply their knowledge to real-world data analysis and effectively communicate their findings.
