Purpose and description of the content of education:
As part of the module, the student learns about the most important meteorological hazards, as well as their impact on life and selected areas of human activity. He learns the basic methods and research tools to describe the causes and effects of meteorological hazards. Using various sources of information about the environment, the student acquires the ability to recognize meteorological threats in spatial and temporal terms. He learns the basic ways of applying environmental engineering to prevent meteorological hazards.
