Purpose and description of the content of education:
Celem modułu jest nabycie przez studentów wiedzy na temat niektórych metod laboratoryjnych badania minerałów i skał. W trakcie zajęć student pozna podstawowe metody instrumentalne dostępne w INoZ: - skaningowa mikroskopia SEM-EDS, - proszkowa dyfrakcja promieni rentgenowskich (PXRD), - spektroskopia wibracyjna (Raman i IR). Student pozna możliwości badawcze zaproponowanych metod badawczych. Wykonując bezpośrednio pomiary lub uczestnicząc w ich przeprowadzeniu, zapozna się z metodami pracy laboratoryjnej, takimi jak przygotowanie próbek do badań, odpowiednie dla każdej z metod oraz nauczy się omawiania uzyskanych wyników. Przygotowywanie sprawozdań z wykonanych zajęć nauczy studenta pisania raportów laboratoryjnych oraz krytycznego czytania opracowań, wykonanych przez inne osoby czy jednostki badawcze. Przedmiot ten, jako całość wprowadzi studenta w podstawową wiedzę o współczesnych metodach badawczych stosowanych w geologii oraz w podstawowe umiejętności pracy w laboratorium badawczym
