About the Event
We welcome our members to join our first (this time, in person) field trip!
The event will be led by Associate Professor Christian Haug Eide a Sedimentologist from the University of Bergen.
The trip will focus on the geological aspects of rockfall hazards and will take place in the Voss area and give the participants a simple introduction on how to think about rockfall hazard, how to estimate return period of rockfall events, and to show what slopes prone to rockfall look like.
The course takes one day, and takes the participants to two scenic and fantastic places where rockfall deposits can be studied in detail. In addition, there will be one stop where the participants can calibrate their expectations for how rocks will look like after being exposed to the elements for a certain amount of time.
The trip will depart and return to Realfagbygget at the University of…
