CLaSH no-cost Graduate Summer Course in Natural Hazards - apply today
The Center for Land Surface Hazards (CLaSH) is offering a no-cost, NSF-sponsored summer short course for graduate students. Students' study sites are mountain regions affected by the 2020 Cameron Peak fire that have experienced significant geomorphic change via post-wildfire erosion and flooding. After the data acquisition is complete, participants will work with newly generated and existing datasets of the study sites to conduct change detection exercises in the CSU Mountain Campus computer lab.
This four-day experience will take place at Colorado State University's Mountain Campus, located about 2 hours outside of Fort Collins. Instruction, meals and accommodation will be provided free of charge to those accepted. The course dates, including travel dates, are July 17-22.
Throughout this action-packed experience, students will:

Throughout this action-packed experience, students will:
-
Receive hands-on training for geodetic field surveys to generate high-resolution digital surface models and practical laboratory experience with data processing and digital surface model change detection.
-
Gain hands-on experience with Uncrewed Arial Vehicles (UAVs) and Photogrammetry, Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), and kinematic GPS and learn how to design and implement field surveys for surface change detection (supported by EarthScope Consortium field education program)
-
Work with newly generated and existing datasets of the study sites to conduct change detection exercises in the computer lab on CSU's Mountain Campus.
Applications are open until April 24.
