Slope performance monitoring: a new professional development course
The Geotechnical Center of Excellence (GCE) at the University of Arizona has gathered some of the leading professionals in the slope monitoring sector to develop a world-class course based on the LOP Guidelines text of the same name.
This course is developed and facilitated by the Geotechnical Center of Excellence and underwritten by the Large Open Pit (LOP) Project. Course content is based on the LOP Guidelines for Slope Monitoring text, and developed in collaboration with the editors, Robert Sharon and Erik Eberhardt.
Topics covered
Movement detection ● Displacement monitoring ● Subsurface deformation monitoring ● Water monitoring ● Geophysical monitoring ● System design, support, and operations ● Data acquisition and management ● Data analysis, utilization, and communication ● Slope monitoring case studies
Who should attend?
- Engineers, geologists, and other mining professionals working with monitoring equipment or interested in doing so the future.
- Geotechnical consultants who interpret monitoring data or integrate data into engineering analysis.
- Anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of slope monitoring.
The course includes pre-recorded content and live, virtual Q&A sessions, where students can engage directly with subject matter experts.
