In the second year of their course,
MSc Environmental hazards and risks management students start with the
Landslides module : a month of theory, case studies and practical work in the field to understand the basic mechanisms of landslides, their causes and their consequences for the areas impacted.
The Alpes-Maritimes region contains several examples of landslides, such as
one near Châteauneuf de Grasse in southern France.
The students went to the site and then hiked to the landslide at altitude : they were able to study the extent of the landslide !
