21st – 22nd of June, 2016
Lecturers:
Dr.
Václav Škarpich (member of Czech-Rivers group of the fluvial section of the
Department of Physical Geography and Geoecology, University of Ostrava)
Dr.
Jan Blöthe (University of Bonn)
Dr.
Veronika Kapustová (University of Ostrava)
Many aspects of fluvial
processes and morphology may be measured to help to assess conditions of
rivers. Modern research methods in fluvial geomorphology provide an integrated
approach to the guidance for researchers to answer questions on river
behaviour. The workshop “Methods of detailed analysis in fluvial geomorphology”
was addressed to those students and young researchers who are dealing with river
systems and hydrology. General aim of the workshop was a demonstration of
modern methods and their application in fluvial-geomorphic research. The
workshop was focused on practical presentation of basic methods for data
collection in the field and subsequent analysis of obtained data, e.g., using
BAGS (Bedload Assessment for Gravel-Bed Streams) software or Sedimetrics
Digital Gravelometer. We showed how to obtain high-resolution remote
sensing data using UAV technology and how to digitally reconstruct terrain and
objects using Structure from Motion technique. One of the lecturers was Dr. Jan
Blöthe from the University of Bonn, staying at our Department via Erasmus+
teaching mobility.
