Protection of the litosphere 1900-1FOL-OG
Prerequisites:
Basics of geomorphology passed or interest in geohazards.
Contents:
The lectures discuss (on selected examples) global and local threats to the lithosphere caused by human activity. The influence of industry, agriculture, communication, urbanization and tourism on changes in sculpture is presented. Characteristics of anthropogenic forms and the transformed landscape. Ways of preventing unfavorable changes.
Assessment methods:
Mandatory attendance 10 out of 15 meetings;
Completion of the subject with the grade, which consists of: presentation on a selected / agreed topic (can be a group of 3-5 people), discussion, short cards checking the knowledge after selected lectures.
Type of course
Learning outcomes
Knowledge:
1) the student learns about the processes shaping the Earth's surface, especially the role of extreme events,
2) the student learns the influence of human activity on the lithosphere,
3) the student learns how to protect the lithosphere.
Skills:
1) the student can explain the reasons for the occurrence of some phenomena observed in nature,
2) the student can present the conditions of operation of geological and geomorphological processes,
3) the student is able to present positive and negative human impacts on the lithosphere and human activities on the lithosphere.
Attitudes:
1) the student understands the course of geological and climatic changes on the Earth's surface,
2) the student understands the need to protect the lithosphere and the rational use of natural resources.
Assessment criteria
Completion of classes is based on attendance (you can miss 5 classes), in addition, I encourage students to discuss, perform and deliver presentations prepared in teams on a selected topic.
