Purpose and description of the content of education:
The course aims to present selected engineering methods of preventing and limiting the effects of geohazards, including weathering, suffosion, karst, soil mass displacement processes within slopes, and seismic hazards. Particular attention was paid to the occurrence of catastrophic climatic phenomena and limiting their effects and large forest and agricultural fires, preventing their occurrence, limiting development, and repairing the damage. In addition, water erosion and anti-erosion meliorations were taken into account.
