Lesson 3. Modeling projects in natural resources and hazards.

Examples. Data to be considered and data processing. Applications in photogrammetry, topography and LiDAR. Risk management. Modeling and management of natural resources

Lesson 4. Hazard, risk and catastrophe concepts. Risk assessment.

Concepts and terminology. Hazard, risk and catastrophe. Prediction and prevention. Hazards classification. Impact of hazards. Hazard processes. Processes related to internal dynamics: seismic and volcanic. Processes associated with external dynamics: landslides, erosion, flooding. Hazards and risk assessment. Hazard and risk mapping.

Lesson 5. Hazard and catastrophe management.

Hazard and risk management. Hazards cycle. Preparation for processes. Early warning systems. Crisis response. Civil protection. Intelligent systems for crisis management. Real-time evacuation and management plans. Measures for recovery.

Lesson 6. Geospatial platforms for crisis management.

Data and models in crisis management. Data capture for crisis management. Sensors. Data types. Operational data models. Models for navigation and evacuation. Spatial decision support systems (SDSS). Map mashups, testimonial services and demand for response.

Practices:

Practice 1. Application of geostatistical methods.

Practice 2.  Examples of practical cases in natural resources and hazards.

Practice 3. Examples of risk analysis and assessment: seismic and landslide hazards and risks.

Practice 4. Example of navigation in a crisis scenario. Navigation with obstacles.

Practice 5. Fieldtrip for observation of processes associated to external geodynamics: landslides and erosive processes. Integral management of processes.

The theory classes will be developed through keynote expositions of the theoretical concepts of the subject, in a participative environment, with presentation of applications and examples.

The practice classes will allow the accomplishment of exercises on natural resources and hazards, in a computer classroom and by means of GIS and specific software for modelling. They include a fieldtrip for observation of processes associated to external geodynamics: landslides and erosive processes. Integral management of processes.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

With the theory exam, the competences CB6, CB7, CB9, CG1IGEO, CG2IGEO, CG3IGEO, CG4IGEO, CT1, CT2, CT5, E06MIGEO, E07MIGEO, E09MIGEO are evaluated.

Results RB6, RB7a, RG1IGEO, RG2IGEO, RG3IGEO, RG4IGEO, RT1, RT2, RT5, RE06MIGEO, RE07MIGEO, RE09MIGEO.

With the accomplishment of practices, the competences CB6, CB7, CB9, CB10, CG1IGEO, CG2IGEO, CG3IGEO, CT1, CT2, CT4, CT5, E06MIGEO, E07MIGEO, E09MIGEO, E10MIGEO are evaluated.

With the attendance and participation, the competences CB7, CB9, CG1IGEO, CG4IGEO, CT4, CT5, E06MIGEO.

Results: RB7a, RB9, RG1IGEO, RG4IGEO, RT4, RT5, RE06MIGEO.

To pass the subject will be necessary to pass the theory exam and the practical work of the subject, independently.

The final score of the subject will be calculated taking into account the weighting of each of the parts (theory and practices).

No changes respect to the classroom-learning scenario, both in activities and evaluation. Only if the conditions do not allow to do the fieldtrip, it will be replaced by a virtual trip to the same scenarios.

No changes respect to the classroom-learning scenario, except that the lectures, exams and presentations will take place through the Google Meet sessions and Google Forms/Virtual learning platform (exams).

The fieldtrip will be replaced by a virtual trip to the same scenarios.

Data Protection Delegate: dpo@ujaen.es

Purpose: In accordance with the Universities Law and other national and regional regulations in force, carrying out exams and assessment tests corresponding to the courses students are registered in. In order to avoid frauds while sitting the exam, the exam will be answered using a videoconference system, being able the academic staff of the University of Jaén to compare and contrast the image of the person who is answering the exam with the student's photographic files. Likewise, in order to provide the exam with evidential content for revisions or claims, in accordance with current regulation frameworks, the exam will be recorded and stored.

Legitimacy: compliance with legal obligations (Universities Law) and other national and regional regulations currently in force.

Addressees: service providers who are the owners of the platforms where the exams are carried out and with whom the University of Jaén has signed the corresponding data access contracts.

Storage periods: those established in current in force regulations. In the specific case of exam videoconference recordings, not before the examination records and transcripts are closed or the exam can still be reviewed or challenged.

Rights: you can exercise your right of access, amendment, cancellation, opposition, suppression, limitation and portability by sending a letter to the postal or electronic address indicated above. In the event that you consider that your rights have been violated, you may submit a complaint to the Andalusian Council for Transparency and Data Protection www.ctpdandalucia.es
