Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course focuses on both theory and application of modelling techniques in the context of earth surface processes, aiming to understand their spatial dynamics and management. Students will engage in lectures about different modelling methods, with hands-on exercises focusing on landslide modelling and spatial analysis. This course will include the basics of modelling principles and coding in open-source approaches, as well as the use of numerical simulations to generate hazard maps.
At the end of the course, students will (i) be able to critically evaluate the contribution of modelling results, (ii) obtain landslide susceptibility maps and evaluate their quality, and (iii) generate potential simulations of predicted scenarios to support disaster risk reduction measures.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Assessment will be continuous throughout the course and will include: i) Attendance at the classes and active participation; ii) Written reports. Additionally, students will be evaluated on their ability to interpret and present concepts. More information will be communicated at the beginning of the course.
