This class introduces geology with an emphasis on engineering geology and practical rock mechanics. We introduce some basic concepts of geology with the aim of understanding the formation of geological features that impact on engineering geology. We also consider how the Earth’s climate has influenced geological processes through time and how future climate change will impact engineering practice. This class aims to aims to give the student an understanding of the fundamental behaviour of soils in compression and shear and how the shear strength is applied to the design of geotechnical structures.

This module provides a thorough introduction to the field of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis. The course covers the key theoretical principles but it also provides many practical hands-on exercises using current state-of-the-art GIS software. By capturing, manipulating, integrating and displaying digital spatial data, a wide range of different analyses can be carried out, ranging from engineering (e.g. site selection, flood risk, transport planning, impact of construction), environmental science (e.g. soil erosion, health and disease, pollutant transport, hydrology, landscape visual impact assessment, wildlife preservation) to policy making (e.g. urbanization, deforestation, spatial distribution of crime). The module demonstrates how GIS can be used for spatial query and analysis. Students will develop skills to apply GIS independently to real world datasets and problems.

The qualitative risk assessment includes an understanding of the most common tools adopted in industry and practical sessions. It also includes an introduction to the problem of risk perception and communication. Analytical approaches and numerical simulation techniques (i.e. Monte Carlo simulation) are presented for the quantification of the uncertainty with applications to structural reliability analysis as well as the associated concepts for code-compliant verification and design. The methods and the approaches presented in the module have a general applicability to different field of engineering.

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) relates to the process of identifying, evaluating, and mitigating the biophysical, social, economic, cultural and other relevant effects of development proposals prior to major decisions being taken and commitments made. This class provides an introduction to the methods used to predict environmental impacts, and evaluates how these may be used to integrate environmental factors into decisions. The class draws principally on the UK planning context of environmental impact assessment of individual projects (project EIA), but also takes account of EIA experience in other countries and international organisations. Participants evaluate the quality of Environmental Statements and of the EIA process using the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Management (IEMA) methodology. The class discusses how EIA can be used a pro-active design tool for projects and how it can contribute to the enhancement of environmental, social and health issues. The class has the contribution of key practitioners in the field and includes different case studies such as mining, roads, and on-shore and off-shore windfarms.
