Field training in applied geology and the environment protection 1300-OKGS3L1

The course is designed to acquaint a student with:
- geological problems of the Lublin region
- methodology of hydrogeological mapping,
- methodology of springs research
- methodology of geoenvironmental mapping,
- methodology of engineering geology mapping,
- methodology of organic soils research,
- problems related to loess areas
- methodology of hydrological measurements and their application in hydrogeology
- hydrogeological, engineering-geology and environmental problems of coal mines functioning,
- methodology of cartographic interpretation of the hydrogeological, engineering-geology and geoenvironmental phenomena observed in the field.
The scope of this course is suitable and adequate for the duration of the course (individual sessions last for more than an envisaged program of 6 hours per day).
