Innovative Courses and Resources

2022



► Collective work OTHU : Urban Stormwater Management



This book is written under the direction of GRAIE and the DEEP laboratory, INSA Lyon. It consists of 44 articles based on more than 20 years of observation and research by more than 60 scientists and water management professionals.
H2O'Lyon is pleased to contribute to this project, both through the scientific editors from the H2O'Lyon community, and for the publication of the book.

► Field course : Geoarcheology and continental hydrosystems

Internship proposed within the framework of the Géonum (Digital Geographies) master's degree for the academic year 2022-2023.
This is an original approach to training through research, as students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in an interdisciplinary research project, to carry out fieldwork and to experiment with acquisition techniques and innovative methodologies during their M1 and M2.

In order to do this, a flipped pedagogy will be implemented: M1 and M2 students will be integrated simultaneously in this field placement. During M1, students will discover the project, the field, the implications, acquire initial data and observe the M2 students who will attempt to answer the research question. A feedback seminar with the M1 and M2 students is planned.

The research project associated with this teaching approach is "Trajectories of fluvial socio-systems in the Paleo-anthropocene", supported by the EUR H2O'Lyon.

Length : September 2022 to February 2023
