Selected issues of mineralogy and deposit geology in Central Europe 1300-WWZGZ-GEP

The field course can take place in several variants. Their implementation depends on the number of students.
Option I Students will get acquainted with the geological structure of the Bohemian Massif. The mineral deposits of various origins will be discussed (the skarns of the Vapenna region, Moravian pegmatites (e.g. Vezna, Rozna), polymetallic deposits near Kutna Hora and Jahymov, alluvial gold deposit at Zlate Hory Mountains). During the course impact of mining on natural environment will be also discussed.
Option II The main topic of the course is geology and mineral resources exploited in the Carpathian Fordeep and the Ukrainian Carpathians. Students will get acquainted with the evaporates exploited in Drohobycz and Kałusz. They will also visit the typical location in Olenyevo, from which rare organic minerals come from. There will also be presented issues related to the Neogene volcanic activity in the Carpathians (volcanic rocks near Berehovia and epitermal gold deposits in the Muzhiewo village). The geology of the Carpathian oil deposits will be discussed on the example of deposits near Borysław, Drohobycz and Starunia. Students will also learn about the exploitation of hard coal in the Czerwonograd mines.
Option III The field course will be devoted to geology of Slovakia and the northern part of Hungary. Students will get acquainted with the main geological units of this area. They will visit polymetallic deposits near Banská Štiavnica, Spania Dolina and Podlipa. The issues related to the methalogenesis of this area and hyperergic processes occurring in the weathering zones will be discussed here. Students are also acquainted with volcanism in the Carpathians and hydrothermal activity in the Eger region and the Bükk Mountains.
Option IV The field course will take place in western Romania. Students will get acquainted with the geological structure of Romanian Carpathians. Salt karst and salt deposits in the Turda, Fe and Mn deposits associated with the skarns in the area of Ocna de Fier, the gold deposit in the Rosia Montana area, selected polymetallic deposits in the vicinity of Baia Mare will be presented.
Option V The field course will take place in polish Sudety Mts. Students will get acquainted with the geological structure of Sudetes. Sn and Co mineralization in the Krobica – Przecznica area, Au-As deposits in Złoty Stok and Radzimowice, polymetallic deposits in the vicinity of Czarnów, Bardo, uranium deposits in Wojcieszyce, Kowary and Kletno will be presented.
