Purpose and description of the content of education:
As part of the module, the student learns and learns to apply geological and geophysical methods used in the analysis of geological hazards. Familiarizes with the methodology of analysis of geological hazards: their causes, manifestations, effects as well as detection, registration, warning and prevention or minimization of their effects. He learns the procedures related to geological hazards used before, during and after their appearance. Acquires the knowledge and skills of using traditional and instrumental techniques of collecting and processing geological data, the principles of spatial construction of a model of geological structure and the principles of geological work - field and chamber. Acquires the ability to use cartographic methods to construct geological maps, geological cross-sections and lithostratigraphic profiles with explanations.
