Rivers change continuously. Fluvial Geomorphologists use landscape interpretation skills to understand form and process, both historically and into the future.  In this 3-part course, attendees will build on knowledge gained from our Geomorphology 101 webinar. In the first session you will dive into the Geomorphology deep-end.

Key application areas such as understanding geomorphological values and concepts such as dynamism and upstream-downstream processes will also be covered by our expert presenters.

In the second session, attendees will learn how to interpret hydraulic/hydrologic model results for geomorphic analysis using models such as HEC-RAS, TUFLOW, MIKE, 3D models, build an appreciation for the benefits of using models, understand some of the pitfalls of over-reliance on their outputs, and hear about their application from an engineer’s perspective.

The third session will involve a virtual field trip applying the tools and perspectives.

Course Overview

Session 1 

Fluvial Geomorphology Fundamentals – Led by Mick Cheetham

• Complex response and equilibrium
• Physical model visualisations

Session 2 

Interpreting Hydraulic/Hydrologic Model Results for Geomorphic Analysis – Led by Ben Pearson

• Types of models
• Use of hydraulic models in geomorphology

Session 3 

Geomorphology, Crossings and Infrastructure – Led by Julian Martin and Andy Markham

• Crossing types and examples
• Materials and techniques
• Case studies – bridge stability and adjacent infrastructure – including short virtual field trip

Format

This course is designed with:

• 6+ hours of session recordings with unlimited access for 30-days
• Units to complete consecutively via the AWS learning platform
• Pre-and-post-course materials to go through via the AWS learning platform
• Ability to ask questions to the presenters at anytime through the learning platform
• Homework to follow through the learning platform, between the sessions
• Attendees earn CPD hours/points (ie with Engineers Australia) for at least 10+ hours for the entire course

Preparation

Pre-course readings provided through the learning platform with videos to watch as introductory background. The learning platform will also include a folder of approximately 20 reading materials to view after the session.

Requirements

To provide the best learning outcomes, set up in a quiet space with dual monitors (i.e. one screen with the session recording and the other with the software/exercise that attendees can work on simultaneously). The courses are not designed for a board-room setup.

Completion

On completion of the course attendees will be issued with a Certificate of Participation.
