A preliminary meeting will occur on the 10th of November at 12 pm in lecture room 5A (NIG). One part of the students will alternately be on site, the other part will attend the course in a digital way at home. The definite arrangement will then be announced by the course intructor probably via Moodle.
The field excursion will be run on Saturday 20th of November. Time of departure and return to Vienna will be announced at the preliminary meeting. The course will ideally be run as a one day field excursion by bus but this will be dependent on Covid - 19 infection rates and government restrictions closer to the date. If this trip cannot be run safely then the trip will consist of a virtual field course given on the same day.- Wednesday 10.11. 12:00 - 13:00 Hörsaal 5A Geographie NIG 5.OG A0518

At the sites various aspects of the topic "gravitational mass movements" in general and in Lower Austria are specifically addressed (definitions, spatial distribution and occurrence, influencing factors, triggers, methodical approaches (surveying / monitoring) for the investigation and analysis of the corresponding processes, Modeling, etc.).
The 1-day excursion is carried out by means of a coach or institute vehicles (depending on the number of participants). As the locations are situated in the districts Scheibbs and Waidhofen a.d. Ybbs, an arrival and departure time of about 4h is to be expected. At the breakpoints or locations small hikes will be carried out, sturdy shoes are therefore essential. The excursion is carried out in any weather. Wearing suitable equipment (rain jacket / umbrella / shoes / possibly rain pants) is recommended. Take care to bring your own food/ provisions.
The excursion evaluation is based on a final report. Writing your own notes and taking your own photos is recommended.
