(in Polish) Geozagrożenia - ekstremalne zjawiska lokalne i globalne 1900-GEZL-OG
Contents:
The lectures discuss global and local threats that occur on Earth, both natural (earthquakes, volcanism, landslides, floods, global warming) and resulting from human activity (soil erosion, deforestation, urbanization, mineral exploitation). Causes and effects of geohazards. Ways to prevent adverse changes. Examples of catastrophic events will be discussed.
Assessment methods:
Attendance is mandatory for 10 out of 15 meetings;
Credit for a grade consisting of: attendance at classes, writing an essay or preparing a presentation on a selected topic.
Student workload - participation in lectures (30 hours) and individual work including familiarization with literature, preparation of a paper/presentation on a chosen topic.

Learning outcomes
Knowledge:
1) the student learns about extreme processes that shape the Earth's surface, especially the role of catastrophic events,
2) learns about the impact of human activity on the Earth's surface,
3) becomes familiar with the need and methods of protection against extreme events.
Skills:
1) Is able to explain the causes of extreme phenomena observed in nature, local and global,
2) is able to present the conditions of catastrophic processes that threaten nature and humans
3) is able to present positive and negative human impacts
Attitudes:
1) understands the course of geological and climatic changes on the Earth's surface,
2) understands the need to protect and rationally use the Earth's 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.
