Practicum of photogeology 1300-OPFG4C
The first part of course is devoted to classical geological interpretation of stereo aerial photos, mainly from areas with exposed basement, or thin Qarternary cover, and to simple photogrammetry measurements (scale of photo, distances, relative attitudes). Students learn how to analyze topographical relief, photo tones, vegetation and structure of the image to recognize geology of bedrock in different parts of Poland (Inner and Outer Carpathians, Holy Cross Mts.). Results of interpretation are compared with geological maps.
The second part of course is devoted to geological interpretation of satellite (Landsat) imagery, radar images and Digital Elevation Models of areas from southern Poland.
During the course it is possible for student to prepare geological interpretation of any area (for example to master’s thesis), if aerial photos are available.
During the course are 3 multimedia presentations.
Number of participants limited to 8 persons because of equipment limits.

Prerequisites (description)
Learning outcomes
After completing the course student at the basis of stereo air photos can interpret geology of any area with uncovered or shallow basement. At satellite and radar imagery, or DEMs, student is able to determine probable fault lines (lineaments).
Assessment criteria
Average grade from student’s works and attendance record.
