Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module introduces the student to specific methods of forecasting geohazards and reconstructing phenomena that may be the cause of geohazards. The student is introduced to the principles of selecting methods for the study of local natural phenomena and examples of their application, including non-standard methods developed for local threats. The module provides the student with the opportunity to learn the specifics of geomorphological and geological processes, the effects of which can be potentially dangerous to human health and life, as well as to the economy. The module allows the student to understand the specificity and complexity of the causes of catastrophic phenomena with consideration of local and temporal conditions using examples from Poland, Europe and the world. As part of the module, the student pursues elective courses.
