To observe moral and ethical aspects of research, intellectual and academic integrity, professional code of conduct. LO14. Demonstrate the ability to conduct independent research of natural and socio-geographical objects, systems and processes in the geographic envelope under field and laboratory conditions.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Know the key provisions of the theory of geographic information systems and technologies. 2. Be able to use GIS tools. 3. To have the skills of applying statistical and stochastic mathematical methods in geography.
Course content
The educational discipline is dedicated to the study of: concepts of models and modeling and their classification; foundations of stochastic state modeling and forecasting of the dynamics of natural geosystems; basics of geoecological model zoning; approaches to the implementation of methodical-optimization and methodical-applied and model-prognostic solutions, as well as methods of thematic modeling of typical natural geosystems, in particular basin geosystems, eco-networks and coastal geotones. The discipline is designed to form students' strategic ideas about methods of modern model-prognostic display of processes and phenomena and the state of objects in natural geography.
