Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module concerns natural phenomena in physical geography: geomorphology, meteorology, hydrology, soil science, and biogeography, with particular emphasis on aspects related to the recognition of geohazards. The student observes and evaluates the relationship between various elements of the environment and learns to describe and prepare documentation of field research. As part of the module, the student can use basic research tools in fieldwork in physical geography research, learn the rules of using thematic maps and performing simple analyses, and use basic measuring instruments.
