The winter school addressed GPR, ultrasound, ERT, computed tomography, and infrared thermography training, lab visits, and field measurements. A technical visit to the restoration department of the Deutsches Museum München was included. The German-Egyptian team spent some days at the TUM campus in Reitenhaslach and the Research Station Schneefernerhaus at the Zugspitze. At the Zugspitze they carried out several ERT and GPR measurements out in the Kammstollen gallery. These tests were performed in cooperation with the TUM Chair of Landslide Research. Moreover, some measurements were carried out at the Castle of Burghausen in preparation for the next measurement campaign in the Khufu pyramid (Cheops) in Gizeh. In the end, the team planned the next measurement campaign for the upcoming trip to Egypt.
This winter school was possible thanks to the financial support of the German-Egyptian Progress Partnership program of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the International Graduate School of Science and Engineering (IGSSE) of the Technical University of Munich.
