The course also describes the causes, sources, transportation, and deposition of mass movements with examples from the Alps and the Himalayas. Flood types, parameters, triggering, and characteristics are dealt in detail in the course. Floods, process, types, and triggering are also the focus of the course. The course provides a hands-on mapping of natural hazards in mountainous areas and modeling flood events.
