Events
Second GA - Innsbruck April 2015
On 22 and 23 April 2015, ecorisQ organised the second general assembly in Innsbruck, Austria. ecorisQ members were invited to profit from interesting technical presentations in the field of natural hazard risk management, to meet other members and to jointly discuss the future of ecorisQ. The PDFs of the techncial presentations and the minutes of the GA can be downloaded below.
Training on rockfall modelling in Mont-Pélérin (CH), Nov. 2014
On 25 and 26 November 2014, ecorisQ organised a training on rockfall hazard assessement using the rockfall trajectory simulation model Rockyfor3D. The training was held in the region around Lausanne (Switzerland) and included a half day field visit (Mont-Pélérin). The spoken language was French and the training was given by Luuk Dorren. The cost of this training was 425 Euro incl. lunch for both days.

Training on rockfall modelling in the Samedan/Poschiavo Valley, Switzerland
On the 26th and 27th of March 2013 we organised a training course on rockfall modelling in the Engadin in the Canton of Grisons, Switzerland.
The course language was German. This two-day course dealt with recording of both geo and forest data in the field, automatic tree extraction from laser scanning data, model input data preparation with opensource GIS packages (QGIS and SAGA GIS), hands-on exercise with the model Rockyfor3D and analysis of the output data.
