the Geosystems Faculty and colleagues, are offering on May 20-21 2021 the short course ""New Technologies for Geotechnical Infrastructure Sensing and Monitoring". The course was offered first in January 2021, was very well received and got fully booked rather quickly. You can review the participants' feedback about the course here. 

The May course will further improve on the January course and  provide a review of some of the latest technologies that are about to, or are already impacting the way we design, maintain, or operate geo-infrastructure and the way we manage risk. Technologies to be discussed are sensor-equipped Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (or drones), 3D model creation using optical (Structure-from-Motion) and LiDAR, infrared sensing, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), wireless sensing fundamentals, ShapeArray Accelerometers and distributed sensing using fiber optics. 

 The instructors have significant expertise in the technologies presented and will outline the principles of operation and the advantages and disadvantages, as well as share examples of projects where these technologies have been successfully implemented.

The course is offered online, but is accommodating participants in all time zones by making the recorded lectures available online for two weeks following the completion of the course, as well as arranging "office hours" even a week after the "live" short course.
