Geological record of natural disasters 1300-WGZKP-OG
The first part of the lecture embraces an introduction to catastrophism and its historical background. Discussed are methodological constrains of the studies on modern and fossil catastrophic natural phenomena. In further parts of the lecture particular phenomena are presented in more detail, such as: volcanics eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and others. In each case modern and fossil examples are presented and compared.
