Aims, contents and method of the course

Umstellung auf Home-Learning -> BigBlueButton, 13.05.2020, 10:00 Uhr

[The excursion leads to locations of various gravitational mass movements in Lower Austria, in particular the study sites of the NoeSLIDE project (www.noeslide.at).
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.]
