Course content
educational discipline "Fundamentals of hydrology and of oceanology" is dedicated to the study of the main sections of hydrology - land hydrology and oceanology; general physical processes in the hydrosphere; interconnectedness and interdependence hydrosphere with atmosphere, lithosphere; water exchange on Earth; basic physical and geographical regularities of the formation, nutrition and regime of water bodies of different types of land (rivers, lakes, swamps, glaciers, underground waters) and patterns of processes occurring in the World oceans; information on the water, thermal, ice regime, chemical formation is provided the composition of the Earth's waters, the importance of river waters and their use; mineral, energy and biological resources of the World Ocean, attention is also paid to consideration of such issues - role water in the functioning of ecosystems, monitoring of land and ocean water pollution, methods of studying and researching water bodies on land and the World Ocean are modern hydroecological problems.
