The autumn course provides current and new knowledge needed for classification, determination of the relevant processes and estimation of the temporal behaviour of geological mass movements.

This course introduces students to geotechnical, geophysical, surveying and (remote) sensing methods used in characterizing, developing and monitoring engineering project sites. Strategies, measurements, tools and analyses are described that are relevant to determining the geologic conditions at a site as well as deformations that occur under natural or construction conditions.

The course focuses on space-borne radar applications tailored to geosciences. Students will develop independently projects on real case-studies by leveraging open source data and software. Students' performance will be assessed by lecturers, peers and an external committee during a mini-conference.
